Every decision refined until nothing remains to be removed. Homes designed around the way you live.
Homes that endure
Designers, perfectionists, and the
ones who never settle.
Founded in 2010, SMPL Design Studio is a full-service residential design practice based in downtown Hamilton, Ontario. We work across Ontario and beyond — bringing modern, thoughtfully considered homes to life for clients who want more than the ordinary.
We thrive on each project being unique. You'll never see the same design twice. Our team of designers, drafters, and project coordinators is built around one idea: that where you live should reflect who you are.
Meet the studio →Building performance, renewable energy assessment, and thoughtful material guidance.
Contemporary forms and an unrelenting passion for pushing the boundaries of residential design.
Logical, considered decisions around budget, layout, and material — design that works in the real world.
Spaces tailored to how your family actually lives — not how a rendering suggests you might.
The SMPL process
We start by listening. We invest time understanding how you live, where you live, and what matters most — before a single line is drawn.
Concepts take shape. Sketches become drawings. Ideas become spaces you can imagine living in — refined through close collaboration until they feel inevitable.
Every detail resolved. Construction drawings, specifications, and coordination that give your builder the confidence to build it right.
We navigate zoning, permits, and conservation authority approvals so you don't have to. We know the process — and how to move through it efficiently.
Ideas worth reading
The hardest thing to do in design is to stop. Why the homes we're most proud of are the ones where we said no more often than yes.
A look inside our latest feature and what the editors had to say about our approach to quiet, considered interiors.
