Our Team

At Square One Design, we’re a small, dedicated team that brings together creativity, technical knowledge, and personalized service. Led by Building Designer Alicia Koch, we collaborate closely to ensure every project reflects your vision and meets your needs—functionally, efficiently, and beautifully.

Alicia Koch

LEAD BUILDING DESIGNER

Alicia was born and raised in East Sooke on Vancouver Island, where her connection to nature continues to inspire her design philosophy—centered on simplicity, functionality, and harmony with the environment. She earned her Bachelor of Architecture from Carleton University, combining her lifelong interests in math and art. With hands-on experience from a 16-month co-op at a Victoria design-build firm, Alicia brings a practical, client-focused approach to residential design, creating spaces that are both beautiful and purposeful. She shares her workdays with Josie, her spirited miniature dachshund, and spends her downtime enjoying the outdoors and time with family.
