OUR PROJECTS
RAAW’s multi-specialization in design leadership spans across the residential sector (in low-mid density and high density multifamily homes), the commercial sector (in T.I.s for education spaces, clinics, offices), to the hospitality sector within North America and internationally. Our firms are committed to delivering design-driven, and financially feasible projects that focuses on design thinking and design execution. Our team does so with our unique and multidisciplinary handling in integrated project management, construction, global sourcing and real estate development capacities.
THE RESIDENTIAL SECTOR
Custom renovation design services are tailored to each individual client’s profile. We work with full scale renovation involving residential BP and/or with partially defined scope. We work with home owners, developers and businesses early in the design-planning process to ensure we deliver design driven solutions that are within our client’s budget while meeting the design standards we uphold.
REMODELLING AND FF&E
New construction | CUSTOM HOMES
If you are a home owner, builder or developer, or simply wish to learn more about the prestigious addresses we are currently engaging in designing, submit your inquiry and we'll get in touch with you for further discussions. If you have a builder you are already working with, RAAW design provides the full ID-new-build service including mandatory project management to ensure every design goal is addressed during execution. We do not participate in projects that are conceptual design-only.
New construction | 2FD+ Multiplex
All RAAW development projects are owned, designed and executed by RAAW exclusively. With superior interior architecture like no others in the Vancouver new housing market, we uphold our design visions in each and every home we deliver under RAAW Development, and our properties.
As a boutique developer, fuelled by visionary design instincts, our team of professionals collectively offer values in not only interiors of the highest level in aesthetics, quality and construction-best-practices, with affordability in mind, but also in LEED home certification for every home we build, along with the standard package of 2-5-10 builder’s home warranty.

New construction | MIXED-USE multiFAMILY
RAAW design can be recruited in early planning stages of multi-family and mixed-use multi-family projects so that an integrated project design (IPD) approach can be addressed. We are the interior design consultant that developers, architects, engineers and professional consultants seek to collaborate with in large scale multi-family midrise or high-rise projects.
Our approach to serving the larger project team begins before the marketing and presale stage. Setting project goals in marketing to establish the set of finish schemes, appliance package, and optional upgrade packages; and targeting interiors related LEED credits in the categories of ID, IAQ, EA and MR for sustainability goals are some of the early project stage participation from our professional field. During the project’s tendering phase, we often work with the construction general contractor and the developer to overcome cost related challenges, using value engineering as a part of the design process to ensure the design intent and finishing quality can be addressed with minimal impact to budget. Finally, we work with the project team throughout the construction phase until completion, where LEED credits verification and deficiencies are taken into account.
THE COMMERCIAL Sector
The commercial interior design sector is the only sector of our project undertakings where we strictly require clients to engage in a design-build process. We are not interested in projects that are partial in design or that are concept-only.
The woven fabrication of complexity in commercial projects where initial budgetary conversations, programming needs and schedule goals often intersect with the building permit matters of varying jurisdictions, third-party consultants’ involvement, then layered on with client involvement of various extent, value engineering and adapting to site circumstances (just to name a few threads), have propelled our decision towards a design-build-only model in this sector. While it is certainly easier to only commit to the design phase, we choose the full ride.
All private residences are subjected to client approval for the showing of home photos, renderings and design related material. RAAW +design holds limited ability to showcase private residences online. Please make a request for the project(s) you would like to view for further information.
