BURGERS ARCHITECTURE is an award winning, immersive, multi-generational architecture and interior design firm In West Vancouver, BC. We believe that too often, luxury residences are designed only to impress; to be seen but not truly experienced. We help discerning clients throughout the pacific northwest to create warm & welcoming homes that exhibit a harmonious blend of health & wellness, energy-efficiency, all embodied in award-winning architecture.
Our reputation for excellence is built on decades of experience, employing a deeply collaborative design process - engaging with clients and leveraging relationships with stakeholders from regulators to builders. The results are manifested in finely crafted single-family residences, townhomes, and vacation properties that are not only beautifully designed but truly lived in and loved.
