history

Habitat Studio was founded in 1992 by Bruce Watt and Vince Campbell. After completing two homes in our first year, we’ve grown consciously, steadily, and responsibly. When Peter Amerongen joined as a third partner in 1994, sustainability and energy efficiency became the hallmark of our homes. By our 20th anniversary we were completing between 15 and 18 homes annually. This controlled growth has allowed us to continue building high quality homes without compromising our values of design and construction excellence. Now, Habitat Studio has become a nationally recognized industry leader in energy efficiency and sustainability.

Over the years we’ve maintained the same owner/operator format and have added an exceptional group of designers, project managers, and construction staff. The early 90’s brought the addition and wealth of experience of Norm Perrin and Trevor Hoover. More recently, Rick Young and Jason Hoover have joined the partnership. As a team of 4 they have built a strong relationship of trust, ingenuity and respect not only for one another but instilled these morals into everyone they come in contact with.

Throughout the years and changes to our firm, our core values of excellence, organization, integrity, innovation, and safety will persist.

To encourage a high level of employee engagement and dedication we use an employee profit sharing program. The result is a front line commitment to quality and attention to detail in every project that we build.

We are an award-winning national leader in custom home building, sustainable design, and green building practices. Our hard work has earned us awards for our exceptional beauty, high-quality, and sustainable homes from the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, Net-Zero Energy Home coalition, and more.
