About Us

Founded in 2002 as Country Estate Homes Inc., Schaeffler Architecture and Design Inc. has been dedicated to creating exceptional custom homes through luxury new construction and transformative renovations. We specialize in designing unique, personalized residences tailored to each client’s vision.

Over the past two decades, we’ve worked on a wide range of projects—from restoring historic homes dating back to the 1820s, to reimagining mid-century and modern properties, and designing entirely new builds. Our work has also expanded into commercial spaces, including offices, restaurants, and more.

Our founder’s background in real estate and a broker’s license allows us to help clients not only design their ideal home, but also find the perfect property or land to begin the journey.

Today, alongside Jacquelyn, we continue to push the boundaries of innovative architecture and thoughtful design. At Schaeffler Architecture and Design Inc., we are committed to delivering an exceptional client experience—marked by efficiency, quality craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of your needs. Every project receives the time and care it deserves.

We look forward to bringing your vision to life and creating a home that truly inspires.
