Portable Seasonal Washroom Facility
Designed within a modified 20-foot shipping container, this seasonal washroom provides a durable, low-maintenance solution for parks, campgrounds, marinas, sports fields, and public spaces. The layout maximizes functionality with centralized plumbing, efficient mechanical systems, and separate men's and women's facilities while allowing for rapid off-site construction and installation. Built for long-term performance, this concept demonstrates how thoughtful design can deliver practical, cost-effective infrastructure for municipalities and private developments.
15 years of experience brings unique experiences
Dreamed up to solve a simple but real problem: providing a clean, comfortable washroom facility for weddings, family reunions, and outdoor events. It arrives fully self-contained, avoiding the cramped, temporary feel of a standard plastic portable unit. Every detail—from the full-flush toilet and running water sink to the climate control and quality finishes—was carefully considered by our client. JV Home Designs helped make their vision a reality.
Pool Decks
Sometimes it’s hard to picture exactly what you want—and that’s totally okay. For this backyard retreat, the new pool had a really unique shape, and we wanted the concrete deck to follow those same sweeping lines. Honestly? We think that “wow” moment came through beautifully. It’s a space that feels as good as it looks.
Contractor-friendly plans
No guesswork here. We design everything in 3D, so we can pull exact square footages, figure out material counts, and get all those tricky radius details just right. It’s our way of making sure every corner and curve is sorted out long before construction starts. And yep — this is a real project, not just a pretty render.

Church Conversion
When our client purchased this historic church, they saw more than just a building—they saw a future home filled with character and warmth. The original masonry, soaring ceilings, and timeless craftsmanship were worth preserving. Our role was to navigate the complexities of a change of use permit, transforming it from a place of worship into a functional, comfortable residence without losing its soul. At JV Home Designs, we know that converting commercial, institutional, or unique properties into residential spaces requires more than a creative layout. Zoning, building code upgrades, fire separations, and municipal approvals all come into play. We help you work through each step, from early feasibility studies to permit-ready drawings that satisfy both your vision and the city’s requirements. One chapter closes, another opens. If you have a property with untapped potential, let's explore what’s possible together.
Apartments and larage buidlings
Is your project just a spark of an idea right now? Sometimes all it takes is getting that vision down on paper to take the next real step. Hiring an architect for initial concepts can get expensive fast — thousands of dollars before you even know if your project is viable. JV Home Designs offers a smarter first move: a feasibility concept package. These are basic, clear drawings that outline the size, square footage, and essential project details to secure preliminary city approvals and get real budget numbers from contractors. It’s a practical, low-cost way to test your project’s viability without the heavy upfront investment — putting you in control before you commit to full design work.
Hall Kitchen Retrofit
When this wedding hall began to show its age, the owners wanted more than a surface-level refresh—they needed a full reimagining that respected the existing footprint. JV Home Designs stepped in to redesign the interior layout and modernize the space without expanding its walls. We restructured the flow to better accommodate guests and service staff, updated the lighting plan to create a warmer, more flexible atmosphere, and specified new commercial-grade appliances that make large-scale entertaining easier and more efficient. The result is a revived venue that feels current, functions smoothly, and is ready to host celebrations for years to come.
Thinking about a container home?
This two-bedroom shipping container home was designed to provide an affordable, efficient, and modern living space without sacrificing comfort or style. The layout maximizes every square foot with an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area, generous bedrooms, and a full bathroom, creating a functional home that feels much larger than its footprint. Using Revit, the design was developed in full 3D, allowing the client to visualize the finished project before construction began. Every aspect of the design was carefully planned to ensure structural integrity, efficient use of space, and a buildable set of permit drawings. Whether used as a primary residence, cottage, rental unit, or accessory dwelling, container homes offer a durable and cost-effective alternative to traditional construction while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic.
