Every Will Johnson home begins long before construction starts: in conversations, preliminary sketches, and the careful process of turning a client's vision into something tangible.

Here, that process is shaped by a collaborative team effort, with team members like Gordon MacGregor, LEED AP, working alongside clients and colleagues to thoughtfully develop each home's design from the ground up.

From the earliest concept to the final selection, our team is constantly listening, collaborating, and refining. It's a process that balances our clients' wants and needs with timeless design principles, ensuring the home that's built is one that feels entirely, unmistakably theirs.

Crafted to create a natural flow between inside and out, this impactful home uses materials that feel grounded in the landscape, from the stacked stone exterior to the copper detailing and steel accents. Large windows and thoughtful transitions invite the surrounding views into daily living, while exterior pathways and terraces extend the living experience outward. Every detail works together to create a home that lives both inside and beyond its walls.

It was an honor and a pleasure to bring this home to life alongside the talented team at Arcade Architecture and Interiors. We are grateful for the collaboration and the wonderful vendors tagged below that have helped to make it all possible.

Vendors: Green Step Flooring, Inc., reSAWN TIMBER co., Custom Stone, Can Decorative Painting & Design, Leo Gaev Metalworks, Loewen, Greenline Design Landscaping, Arcade Architecture and Interiors (formally Meyer-Greeson-Paullin Benson)

Meet our Operations Team: the people who keep every moving part aligned from first plans to final walkthrough.

Every client works with a dedicated Project Manager from start to finish: one consistent point of contact managing timelines, budgets, on-site coordination, and communication so you never have to wonder what's happening with your build.

Working hand-in-hand with our design team, trade partners, and homeowners, they're central to the WJBC signature experience, a process built to feel clear, collaborative, and well-managed at every stage.
