Architect Designed Forever Homes.

The client

The homes One One Ten designs are not for everyone. They are for the client who has considered what they actually want. Not just in finishes and square footage, but in how a house should feel at six in the morning, at a dinner party of twenty, at the end of a long year.

These are clients who want to build once. One residence. Done right.

One One Ten calls these Architect Designed Forever Homes. The name is direct: a home designed by a licensed architect, from the ground up, with every decision made for the specific person who will live in it. Not for resale, not for a developer's pro forma, not for anyone else.

The work

The studio's residential practice spans renovation and addition projects to full custom homes. The primary focus is on projects in the $5M to $15M range, where the architectural investment is commensurate with the life being built inside them.

Project imagery includes renderings, construction documentation, site photography, physical model photography, and in-progress construction photography — not limited to finished project photography. This is a deliberate editorial decision.

Breadth of practice

One One Ten's residential portfolio covers the full spectrum of how people choose to build and inhabit their lives: custom single-family homes, multi-family housing, additions and renovations, and remote vacation retreats. Projects span Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Montana, ranging in scale from a first home built to a careful budget to multi-million dollar bespoke commissions on demanding sites.

Service tiers

One One Ten offers three distinct levels of residential service. The right tier depends less on project budget than on how a client wants to engage: how much they want to lead, how much guidance they need, and how deeply they want the studio involved. Every engagement begins with the Discovery Consultation, where the right fit becomes clear naturally.

Foundation
Essential
"You lead, we guide."

The Foundation tier is designed for clients who arrive with experience, confidence, and a clear sense of direction. They may already have a builder relationship in place, a strong vision for what they want, and the ability to manage selections and day-to-day decisions independently. What they need from One One Ten is the architectural rigour that protects their investment — professionally sealed drawings, permit submissions handled correctly, and a complete set of construction documents a contractor can price and build from with confidence.

This is architecture at its most essential: precise, purposeful, and structured around the client's ability to lead. One One Ten provides the professional backbone; the client drives the decisions.

Best suited for — Experienced owner-builders, clients with established contractor relationships, or clients comfortable taking an active role in leading decisions on simpler residential projects.
Crafted
Signature
"We lead, you decide."

The Crafted tier suits clients who want genuine architectural guidance without leaving anything to chance. The project carries real weight — whether that's a significant budget, a complex site, a carefully considered interior, or simply a building that matters deeply and will for decades to come.

One One Ten leads the design process, coordinates engineering, advocates for the client's interests at every turn, and brings the complete team to the table. The client remains the decision-maker throughout — but every decision is informed, supported, and shaped by the studio's expertise. The result is architecture practised as it was meant to be: collaborative, considered, and complete.

Best suited for — Clients undertaking significant new builds or renovations who want full design leadership, engineering coordination, and an architect present and invested from first sketch to final inspection.
Bespoke
Atelier
"We handle everything."

The Bespoke tier is for clients who want nothing left to interpretation. The project may be architecturally ambitious, technically demanding, or simply too important to leave any aspect unresolved — and they want an architect who treats it with the same conviction.

One One Ten assumes complete responsibility for the design process: every decision considered, every consultant coordinated, every contractor communication managed, every site visit attended. Custom millwork, sustainability performance, landscape architecture, unlimited 3D visualisation, fortnightly field reviews — nothing is delegated, nothing is abbreviated. The client focuses on their vision and their life. One One Ten handles everything else, with the full attention of a dedicated atelier.

Best suited for — Clients undertaking architecturally ambitious or technically complex projects who want complete design oversight and nothing left to interpretation.
Architectural service matrix

What's included in each tier.

What clients say
"
Highly detailed, professional service. Exceeded our expectations and expanded our view of what an architect could do for us. Final result is unique, creative, tailored as well as being spatially and financially efficient.
Dr. David & Maribeth Douglas Lethbridge, Alberta
"
Spencer has a great eye for architectural design and was genuinely open to our ideas — even the unconventional ones. We especially valued having him involved across every stage, from early brainstorming through design, tender, and construction.
Dr. Sean Wilde Lethbridge, Alberta
"
Spencer created a design that was extremely functional, combined artistry and natural beauty. He created a plan that I fell in love with. The quality of work and detail that went into the project was above and beyond what was expected.
Julianne Cunningham Cardston, Alberta
"
During our Discovery Consultation, Spencer spent considerable time getting to know us — our values, our long-term plans, and what we want to feel when we walk into our home someday. It's clear they understand what it means to live and build in this region.
Adam Sweet Edmonton, Alberta
"
One One Ten merged form and function throughout our farming shop and new residence, creating a design that genuinely appealed to both of us. They were thoughtful about the rural location, allowing the architecture to reflect something rooted in its place and environment.
Mandy & Ryan Pack Foremost, Alberta
