Sam Rad
Lead Designer – Builder

With a rich background spanning over two decades in planning, design, and construction, I thrive on turning simple ideas into vibrant realities. As a seasoned architecture student at Dalhousie University, I bring meticulous design skills and project management expertise to the table. My passion lies in tackling challenges through innovative design and planning, and I’m known for delivering versatile projects promptly and within tight budgets.

Team:
In essence, we’re here to listen, understand your vision, and to craft design packages that not only come to life but also make for enjoyable living spaces.

Who are we? We are creators by nature, we excel in bringing efficiency and organization to construction projects, whether it’s affordable housing, multi-unit residential buildings, commercial ventures, special homes, or historic site renovations.

Our streamlined services follow this process:
1. Listen to our clients and understand the intent
2. Brainstorm and dream with clients about design possibilities
3. Create exciting design concepts for client feedback
4. Obtain development approvals and address municipal comments
5. Deliver construction packages to turn your dream into reality with Building Permits. Let’s shape your vision into a reality!
As a group of young and motivated designers, we deliver our building drawings sets (2d / 3d) in days and we charge minimally. A good design should also be affordable, we believe.

Our Name and Purpose:
خانه • (xâne)
Inherited from Middle Persian, xâne means, house, habitation, to dwell, to remain, to stay a night and ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *hwes- (“to dwell, live, reside; to stay, spend the night”). We practice what we preach, we create habitations in many forms, we create the feel, we create “homes”.
