At Haven Projects, as a sustainable custom home builder, we believe your home should be as comfortable as it is beautiful, with functional and healthy sustainable living spaces that integrate seamlessly into their environments. We chose our name to reflect our commitment to building masterfully designed and crafted Havens tailored perfectly to your vision, and we are proud to serve our local communities in the Greater Victoria area and the Gulf Islands.

Featured Project

Patricia Bay Custom Home

With an expansive kitchen, open and airy layout, and abundant outdoor living spaces, this West Coast modern 3-bedroom home was designed around the owners’ love of entertaining. The covered patio looks out over a gorgeous view of the Bay, while the 900-square-foot rooftop patio with hot tub is a perfect destination for a warm-weather gathering of friends and family (not to mention stargazing!).

Chris was a pleasure to work with. He is clearly passionate about his craft and has a great eye for detail. Chris patiently worked with us to bring our design ideas to life, offering his professional experience and skills to the process. He helped bring to life a vision we had for a functional, flowing and thoughtfully designed space. He was professional throughout the duration of the project and we appreciated Chris’s clear, concise and timely communication. He provided innovative solutions to challenges that arose to ensure our project goals were met. The renovation project stayed on schedule and on budget, and he delivered an excellent finished project. We are thrilled with our beautifully updated home and feel fortunate to have had Chris build it. We would not hesitate to recommend Chris Johnston to others looking to build or renovate their home.

You won’t find a better company for your building or renovation project than Haven Projects and Chris Johnston. Chris is organized, thoughtful and considerate of all of the details of the project. He is very creative and works to a high standard. The trades he works with are excellent. All of them were friendly, considerate of our living space and highly skilled. I could not have been more pleased with the outcome of our bathroom renovation. I would give Chris and Haven Projects 10 stars out of 5!
