Home Additions

Expand your living space without moving

We're a Certified Licensed Home Builder with BC Housing, trusted across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland for quality craftsmanship and transparent service.

Home Additions That Work With Your Life

Need more space but love your neighbourhood? A home addition lets you expand without starting over. We design and build extensions that feel like they were always part of your home—not an afterthought.

What a Home Addition Includes

A home addition with VIBE covers everything from initial design to final finishing. We work with your existing structure to create seamless transitions between old and new, handling structural engineering, permits, and construction so the addition feels intentional and integrated.

Who Is This For

Home additions are ideal for families who need more room but don't want to leave their neighbourhood. Maybe you need a main-floor bedroom for aging parents, a larger kitchen that opens to living space, or a family room that actually fits your family. If moving isn't appealing but your current layout isn't working, an addition might be the answer.

What's Included

Every home addition project includes: structural assessment of your existing home, design collaboration with architects, permit applications and city approvals, foundation and framing for the new space, full integration with existing electrical plumbing and HVAC, interior finishing to match or complement your home, BuilderTrend access for project tracking, and 2-5-10 warranty coverage.

What to Expect

Home addition costs vary based on size, complexity, and how much existing structure needs modification. Expect the process to take 4-8 months from design through completion. Permitting in Vancouver takes longer than surrounding municipalities. We'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific project and location.

"After years of dreaming, Vibe Design Build created a hillside retreat that takes our breath away daily. The floor-to-ceiling windows, cantilevered balcony, and infinity pool make the most of our spectacular views. Their innovative design ideas turned a tricky site into our perfect paradise."

Frank Stratton

Home Owner

"Working with Vibe Design Build on our custom home was an outstanding journey from start to finish. They took the time to understand our goals and transformed them into a beautifully practical design. The open, airy interiors, clever use of natural light, and thoughtful layout brought our dream home to life in a way that exceeded expectations. We couldn't be happier with the results."

Alfred Mohammed

Home Owner

"After consulting with several firms, we chose Vibe Design Build to handle the restoration of our mid-century modern home in West Vancouver—and we couldn't be happier. Their dedication to honoring the original architecture while enhancing livability stood out from the start. They carefully revived our terrazzo flooring and flawlessly connected it with newly installed heated concrete extensions. The custom walnut cabinetry they built felt tailor-made for our space, blending effortlessly with our existing décor. The real game-changer was replacing the solid back wall with full-height glass panels, which opened up stunning views of the backyard and brought in an abundance of natural light. Many visitors assume our home was restored by heritage specialists, but it was Vibe Design Build that brought this vision to life from start to finish."

Kenneth Gonzales

Home Owner

"When we purchased our West End condo, it was outdated and lacked character. Vibe Design Build turned it into a stunning modern space. They redesigned our 1,800-square-foot layout, opening it up to maximize natural light and create a functional dining area where none seemed possible. The custom kitchen island with a waterfall quartz countertop became the focal point of our home. Their clever storage solutions throughout the unit resolved all our clutter issues. Most importantly, they were incredibly patient in helping us choose finishes and fixtures, guiding us through every decision without ever rushing us, even when we changed our minds several times."

Joyce Moore

Home Owner

"As an interior designer, I had very specific requirements for the renovation of my Kitsilano home. Vibe Design Build stood out by understanding my vision of blending Japanese minimalism with West Coast contemporary style. The cedar ceiling details and custom room dividers, inspired by shoji screens, were crafted with incredible precision. When unexpected water damage was discovered, their team swiftly adjusted the plan to ensure the aesthetic remained flawless and the project stayed on track. The heated concrete floors in the master bathroom, accented with river stones, have been a favorite feature that draws admiration from all visitors."

Myron Juan

Home Owner

"After consulting with multiple firms, we ultimately chose Vibe Design Build to renovate our mid-century modern home in West Vancouver — and it was absolutely the right decision. From day one, their commitment to honoring the original character of the home while integrating thoughtful modern upgrades was clear. They did a stunning job reviving our original terrazzo floors and seamlessly extending the space with heated concrete additions. Their custom walnut built-ins were expertly crafted to complement our existing furniture. One of the most impactful changes was replacing the solid rear wall with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows — it completely transformed the space, flooding it with natural light and connecting the interior with our backyard. Many visitors assume we hired a specialist in heritage renovations, but all the credit goes to Vibe Design Build. They managed every detail with care and precision."

Estelle Sheats

Home Owner

"After months of searching, we finally found Vibe Design Build for the renovation of our complex False Creek penthouse. Their innovative approach completely transformed our 2,800-square-foot condo into a chic urban sanctuary. By removing non-structural walls, they maximized the panoramic views of the city skyline, while their custom cabinetry provided ample storage without compromising the sleek, open feel. The addition of sliding pocket doors between the living and dining areas was a brilliant solution that allows us to customize the space for different occasions."

Leslie Chabot

Home Owner

"We purchased a dated 1970s split-level home in North Vancouver that needed a complete transformation. Where others saw obstacles, Vibe Design Build saw incredible potential. They reinvented our 2,600-square-foot layout, replacing the dark, confined rooms with a bright and spacious great room featuring vaulted ceilings. One of the most impressive changes was the addition of a cantilevered breakfast nook that gave us breathtaking mountain views we never thought possible. Clerestory windows brought in a flood of natural light, brightening areas that once felt gloomy. Even when unexpected structural issues popped up during demolition, the team stayed on schedule and within budget. Their vision and execution were nothing short of remarkable."
