JC Scott is a designer committed to timeless values which include the environment as well as aesthetics. Educated as an architectural historian, he is well schooled in harmonic proportions and natural construction. As an architectural scholar he learned that until the latter part of the twentieth century, except for the lead in water pipes, there were virtually no offgasing or harmful materials in the man-made built environment and our carbon footprint on earth was manageable.
Today JC promotes healthy and sustainable design with the highest quality local materials and fabricators, showcasing new ways to live on the west coast of Canada. From a writer’s studio in the forest, to designing an organic market style food service for The University of Victoria, the same principles of promoting sustainability through the use of exceptional quality local materials is the method of our design studio, from hand-drawn concept sketches through to CAD renderings.
To showcase our designs, selected products and ideas we have a store, a studio and a gallery, all committed to JC Scott’s vision of west coast eco design.
