Who we are
At Architype Property
We are dedicated professionals combining expertise in property development, design, real estate, and construction. Our goal is to build meticulously detailed, beautiful, quality buildings and landscapes that bring our clients dreams to life.
Design with purpose. Build with precision. Deliver with pride.
Hi, I’m Chris Flawn — founder of Architype Property Ltd., a full-service development studio based in Kelowna, BC and working with clients across Canada, Australia, and internationally. With over 15 years of experience spanning architecture, urban planning, landscape design, and project delivery, I specialize in turning complex ideas into beautifully built environments.
Whether it’s a boutique residential infill, a custom furniture piece, or a complete site development from the ground up, I bring creative vision, technical mastery, and a collaborative approach to every project.
A Developer Who Understands Design at Every Scale
My journey started with a degree in Urban Planning from the University of Calgary, followed by a Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Melbourne. Since then, I’ve led projects across Canada and Australia — from award-winning public spaces to high-performance urban infrastructure and intimate custom homes.
I’ve worked at the intersection of design and delivery: collaborating with city councils, leading interdisciplinary teams, managing consultants, navigating approvals, and overseeing construction — always with an eye for detail, craft, and context.
What We Offer
Architype Property isn’t your typical developer. We’re an end-to-end partner for ambitious clients who care about good design, efficient execution, and long-term value.
Our services include:
Design – architectural, interior, and landscape
Planning – development approvals, feasibility studies, and design documentation
Development Management – from pro forma to project close-out
Project Management – overseeing timelines, budgets, teams, and trades
Procurement – handling contracts, subconsultants, and sourcing
Custom Furniture Design – including bespoke furniture and integrated built elements
Why Work With Me?
Multidisciplinary Expertise – Urban planner. Landscape architect. Developer. I speak the language of every phase of a project.
Hands-On Project Execution – From permits to procurement, I take ownership of the full process so you don’t have to.
Award-Winning Design – My work has been recognized nationally for innovation in cultural heritage, infrastructure, and sustainable design.
Global Experience, Local Focus – I’ve led projects across Australia and Canada, but I’m rooted in the unique opportunities and challenges of Kelowna and
the Okanagan.
