”what they say about us.”
Welcome to the studio.
Banfield Design Co. a full-service interior design and architectural design studio; a collective of creative problem solvers based in Port Moody, serving homeowners across Vancouver, the Lower Mainland and throughout British Columbia. formerly Jamie Banfield Design Inc., we're an award-winning studio led by Jamie Banfield specializing in renovation design, interior design, custom home design, and permitting delivering clear, coordinated solutions.
we know that choosing a design team is a significant decision. you're not simply hiring someone to select finishes or prepare drawings, you're inviting a team into one of a the largest investments of your life and trusting us to shape the place where your family will create memories for years to come. that trust is something we will never take for granted.
a great home should work effortlessly for the family that calls it home. luxury isn't about the most expensive materials as it's truly about thoughtful tailored design. it's opening a drawer and finding exactly what you need, natural light where you want it, storage that actually keeps life organized. a home that keeps up with real life not just an instagram post.
that's our purpose; crafting spaces that let families thrive into their most authentic selves through spaces that just feel right while functioning for the day-to-day moving parts of real life. with a belief that form should never compromise function and the most tailored spaces are often the most functional, because every detail has been thoughtfully considered for the family that call it home.

What sets us apart.
-
we believe the process matters just as much as the outcome.
no matter the size or budget, every project is approached with care, attention, and intention. We take the time to understand you, your family, and how your home needs to support your everyday life because it should feel like your calm in the storm, not another source of stress.
our role is to guide you with clarity and confidence. through thoughtful planning, clear communication, and a structured approach, we simplify the complexity behind the scenes so you can focus on what matters most.
we bring together timeless design, practical thinking, and real-life functionality to create spaces that don’t just look good, but work seamlessly day in and day out.
it’s a process built on trust, care, and follow-through designed to make the experience feel as good as the final result.
-
from your first discovery call through design, planning, and construction, we take the time to listen really listen. before we ever sketch a layout or explore ideas, we focus on how you actually live. not just what you like, but how your mornings unfold, where things feel frustrating, and what’s not working in your current space.
because great design doesn’t come from assumptions it comes from clarity, and that clarity is built through conversation.
we ask the right questions.
we challenge where needed.
and we create space for honest, open dialogue.when we truly understand you, everything becomes more aligned. design decisions are clearer, faster, and more intentional. It reduces guesswork, minimizes back-and-forth, and ensures the final result isn’t just beautiful it works, day in and day out.
the time we spend listening upfront is what allows everything else to run smoothly from design and documentation through to permitting and construction. it creates alignment between you, the team, and the build so the outcome reflects what you actually need, not just what looks good on paper.
-
we’re a focused, tight-knit intentionally structured team so every project gets the attention it deserves. each team member brings a specific area of expertise, and together, we collaborate closely to deliver thoughtful, well-coordinated design from start to finish.
from early concepts through to construction, you’re not passed around or left wondering who’s responsible for what. the same team is with you every step of the way aligned, informed, and invested in your project.
this boutique environment allows us to be responsive, detail-driven, and highly attentive. It means clearer communication, stronger collaboration, and a more seamless experience overall.
the result is a process that feels supported, personal, and well-managed and a home that reflects that level of care in every detail.
-

smart design starts with understanding what matters most to you.
we look beyond aesthetics to create spaces that truly support your day-to-day life as it’s how you move, how you use your home, and where things need to work better. every decision is intentional, grounded in function, and designed to make your routines easier, not more complicated.
from layout and flow to storage, lighting, and material choices, we focus on solutions that are practical, efficient, and built to last. It’s about designing a home that feels intuitive and where everything has a place, and everything works the way it should.
because when design meets your needs, it doesn’t just look good.
It feels right, every single day. -
your home isn’t just a place to hang your coat. It’s the backbone for morning mad dashes, homework battles, family dinners while capturing those memories and those rare quiet moments. our purpose is rooted in the belief that a thoughtfully planned and well-designed home enhances the quality of life and truly reflects the family that calls it home. Exceptional design isn’t a luxury; it’s a vital investment in creating homes that are both livable and timeless and ensuring your home is a true reflection of those that call this place home.
-
especially when it’s tailored to your family.
our design and permit packages are just that: a clear, detailed roadmap built specifically for your home, your lifestyle, and your goals. every element is thoughtfully considered from layout and flow to materials, lighting, and technical coordination so nothing is left to chance.
we bring precision to every drawing and document, ensuring your project is not only beautifully designed, but fully aligned for permitting and construction. and we don’t stand still our team is constantly refining how we work, improving our drawing packages, technical detailing, and overall process from feasibility through to build.
why does this matter for you?
because precision reduces guesswork.
clear drawings lead to accurate pricing.
strong documentation keeps trades aligned.
and a well-managed permit process avoids unnecessary delays.it all adds up to a smoother, more predictable experience fewer unknowns, better coordination, and clearer decisions from start to finish.
the result is a home that’s not only thoughtfully designed, but fully coordinated, buildable, and set up for long-term success so you can move forward with confidence, knowing every detail has been carefully planned to work seamlessly together.
-
designing your home should feel exciting and not overwhelming.
we take the work seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. we speak your language, keep things clear and approachable, and bring a sense of humour to the process along the way.
while we’re structured, detail-driven, and focused on getting it right, we also believe the experience should feel enjoyable and human. there’s room for creativity, collaboration, and those moments where everything starts to click.
because when the process feels good, the outcome is even better.
you’ll feel supported, confident in your decisions, and genuinely excited about what’s taking shape with a team that knows how to keep things moving while keeping it real.
Design, it’s more than just style.

”our community.”
making a difference
be kind to other; a fundamental lesson learned amidst the simplicity of naps and crafts in kindergarten and continues to guide us at Banfield Design Co. this early principle of empathy and respect shapes our ethos: we’re passionate about design, yet we believe that true impact extends beyond profit. in our dynamic and innovative environment, we prioritize compassion, dedicating time and resources to cherished charities and organizations. making a difference, we’ve found, is the most rewarding design detail of all.
