  • Profile

    Level Design was established in 1992 by architect Brad Cameron MAIBC, to encompass the design of architecture, interiors and furniture. Upon completing studies in Waterloo and Halifax, Brad worked for architects in Vancouver, Toronto, San Diego and London England, including the offices of Arthur Erickson and Patkau Architects. The ongoing experience of producing furniture has had a strong influence, lending a craftsman’s sensibilities to the design of architecture. Each project, at any scale, is embraced with the same enthusiasm to discover unique design solutions to inevitably complex requirements.

    Architecture

    In the last two decades of private practice the projects have included large scale planning, single and multi-family residential projects, office buildings, and public park structures. The focus of the work in recent years has been the design of single-family custom homes in remote locations surrounding Vancouver, including the Sunshine Coast, Gambier Island, Vancouver Island, and the San Juan Islands. The Still House, a heavy timber post and beam prototype introduced in 2005, has inspired considerable interest. Please refer to the Architecture category for detailed information.

    Interior Design

    The early projects consisted mainly of office interiors in Vancouver for companies that required an interior design expressive of their business aspirations. These projects often included custom workstations, built-ins and furniture. More recently, the detailed design of interiors is always included in the design process for custom homes, complete with built-in cabinetry and custom furniture.

    Furniture Design

    The design and production of furniture has been a regular sideline industry for two decades, particularly between 2000 and 2005 when the showroom was located on 2nd Avenue near Granville Island. The early work employed combinations of solid hardwoods, steel, and glass to contrast their natural qualities. The later work emphasized the natural beauty of salvaged old-growth Douglas fir and hemlock. Furniture production in recent years has been eclipsed by architectural projects, but custom projects are still welcome.

  • Shaw Island House - San Juan Islands, USA

    A 2,000 sq ft full-time residence based on the Still House system, completed in 2011.

    The elongated layout on two floors was selected to reduce construction costs, and provide a view for almost every room in the house to the pond below and the ocean in the distance to the North. The shallow depth of the plan and abundant windows on the South side allows direct light to penetrate deep into the interior.The post-and-beam construction system permitted continuous windows on the lower level, creating a stong connection with the surrounding forest. This combined with an open floor plan and eleven foot high ceilings creates a spacious interior, while the predominantly wood finishes produces a feeling of sheltered intimacy. Covered Terraces on the South and West sides are flush with the interior floor and extend the conection between the Living level and the landscape. The pre-finished Douglas fir post-and-beam structure was prefabricated, and assembled on site in eight days, with four framers and a fork lift truck. The purlins, fir decking and roof were also finished at the same time providing a quick umbrella to complete the remainder of the house. The generous overhanging roof on all sides ensures a water tight exterior, and a minimum of exterior maintanence for the cedar siding.

  • Secret Cove House - Sunshine Coast -West View

    2,500 sq ft part-time home, to be completed in 2012.

    The house is located on the North side of a narrow ravine with a view of Georgia Straight to the West. Boat access to the house from below will be used as much as the road access at the upper level. The Upper Floor is organized into two distinct wings of Living, Dining, Kitchen and Master Bedroom & Bath, with a central skylit Breezeway between. The generous West Deck is continuous with the East Entry Terrace through the Breezeway which feels like an indoor/outdoor space. The pivotal breezeway also connects the Upper Floor to the Lower Floor Den, Bedrooms and Bathrooms, with a stair directly between the Upper and Lower Floor Entrances. The palette of construction materials was limited to limestone plaster, stone, Douglas fir, and zinc, with conventional wood framing. The main walls of the house are given a monolithic quality with the use of a smooth plaster that continues from inside to outside. Basaltina stone flooring throughout is continuous with the same material on the terraces. All ceilings and soffits are in slatted Douglas fir, including the wave-form ceilings of the Upper Floor wings.The window frames and sliding doors are also made of fir. This warm wood interior is further enhanced with generous fir panelling and built-in cabinetry.

  • Secret Cove House - Sunshine Coast - Lower Terrace

    2,500 sq ft part-time home, to be completed in 2012.

    The house is located on the North side of a narrow ravine with a view of Georgia Straight to the West. Boat access to the house from below will be used as much as the road access at the upper level. The Upper Floor is organized into two distinct wings of Living, Dining, Kitchen and Master Bedroom & Bath, with a central skylit Breezeway between. The generous West Deck is continuous with the East Entry Terrace through the Breezeway which feels like an indoor/outdoor space. The pivotal breezeway also connects the Upper Floor to the Lower Floor Den, Bedrooms and Bathrooms, with a stair directly between the Upper and Lower Floor Entrances. The palette of construction materials was limited to limestone plaster, stone, Douglas fir, and zinc, with conventional wood framing.

  • Wing House Schematic Design - Gabriola Island

    Preliminary design of a 1,850 sq ft Showhome for a new development of 50 view sites - 2009

    This house consists of a solid masonry back wall on the access side, anchoring a timber frame post-and-beam roof structure, with a glass wall facing the view. Clerestory windows between the back wall and the roof reduces the sense of enclosure, gives the ceiling a floating quality, and provides daylight. The flanking wings of the house define and embrace an outdoor space facing the view for a terrace, swimming pool or garden. All interior spaces are focused onto the outdoor space and the view beyond.
