01 about
Design that's rooted in architectural training, refined by experience.
DNVS Design is a Vancouver-based studio specializing in new homes, renovations, and interior design. Founded by Daniela Vidra-Sedler — trained as an architect in Buenos Aires and holding a Bachelor of Architecture certification from the Canadian Architectural Certification Board — the studio brings over twenty-five years of experience to projects across Greater Vancouver, Whistler, Victoria, and beyond.
That architectural foundation shapes everything the studio does: spaces are planned with precision first, then layered with warmth, materiality, and a deep attention to how people actually live in them. Whether the project is a laneway house, a full renovation, or a single beautifully considered room, the approach is always the same — functional, elegant, and specific to you.
The studio recently welcomed back senior designer Samantha Sedler Hillstrom, UDCP, whose work at a leading design-build firm in Silicon Valley earned multiple award-winning projects spanning modern whole-home remodels, eclectic kitchens, and transitional additions. Together, Daniela and Samantha bring complementary strengths — architectural rigour and interior fluency — to every project they take on.
