Shane realized his calling early in his teens when he overheard his parents talking about their need for an extensive kitchen renovation. He sketched through the night, and left them with their dream kitchen on the counter in the morning. This led him to pursue his passion for architecture at SAIT, and he went on to graduate on the Presidents List and Honour Roll.

Over the course of his 20+ years, Shane has designed his career to focus on his passion of high-end luxury custom homes, while providing exemplary customer service. He has been fortunate enough to have received over half a dozen awards for Best New House design, including a top 5 finalist for Best New House in Canada – twice.

At SGDI, Shane oversees the custom home designers; guiding and supporting the team, as well as leading projects and working with clients to make the vision for their home come to life.

When he’s not designing your beautiful custom home, Shane can be found recharging his batteries out in all of the beauty that BC has to offer.

“Architecture is really about well-being. I think that people want to feel good in a space …
On the one hand it’s about shelter, but it’s also about pleasure.” – Zaha Hadid
