Design doesn’t begin with finishes. It begins with reflection - on how you live, what you value and what your home needs to support.
At Chez Jilaire
Between the Pinterest spirals, competing advice and endless decisions, it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters. At Chez Jilaire, we help you define it.
We believe that luxury is rooted in thoughtfulness. That beauty and function should never be at odds. And thoughtful planning is the most powerful design tool there is.
The best homes begin with the right questions not just beautiful answers.
Whether you're navigating square footage decisions, managing conflicting styles with your partner or trying to make sense of all the Pinterest chaos.
We serve as your design translator, strategy partner and clarity guide before the build ever begins.

Ways to work with us
We help you distill what you love, how you live and where you’re headed, into a design vision that reflects it all. Before the architect drafts a line. Before the designer picks a tile.
Let's Begin with What Matters
The guide behind over $100M in award-winning homes, Chez Jilaire helps you lead your project with clarity, confidence and calm.
We don’t design your home for you. We help you make the right decisions, in the right order, with the right support, so the end result feels aligned with who you are and how you want to live.
Jilaire Soucy Wagner
Co-Founder of Maison Design + Build
led by luxury home strategist
get to know Jilaire
I’ve spent the past two decades guiding discerning homeowners through one of life’s most emotional and expensive journeys - creating a home that feels as good as it looks, without the overwhelm, second-guessing or costly missteps that so often come with building.
As Co-Founder and Creative Director of Maison Design + Build, I’ve led the design and construction of more than $100 million in award-winning custom homes, earning multiple Avid Diamond Awards for the highest client satisfaction in Canada and the trust of over 100 families along the way.
More than the distinctions and design awards, what’s always mattered most are the quiet thank-you's; the clients who say, “We couldn’t have done this without you.” Because at the heart of it all, this work has never just been about finishes or floor plans. It’s about helping people build with meaning. If a home doesn’t reflect how you live - it’s never going to feel like yours.
Chez Jilaire is how I bring that same depth of experience to more people - offering grounded, expert guidance to homeowners across the country, no build contract required.
