Yan Lavoie
Meet Yan Lavoie | Passion, Craftsmanship & Design Expertise
When it came time to choose his career back in 2004, Yan found himself torn between two passions: aviation and architecture. At just 17 years old, he was already flying gliders and private planes before even getting his driver’s license, having earned his pilot certifications through the Air Cadets.
His dream of becoming a fighter pilot eventually evolved into a love for design when he began a college degree in Architectural Technology, inspired by his fascination with architectural history… and countless hours spent building with Lego, a passion he now shares with his children.
Influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, Yan has a strong appreciation for modern and contemporary architecture, where light, structure, and simplicity coexist beautifully. Among his favorite Drummond House Plans models are the Linea, Dumont 2, Whitehill, Cime, and Auguste 2, plans that, in his view, balance design elegance with everyday functionality.
With a background in carpentry and 15 years of on-site experience, Yan brings a hands-on understanding of construction to every project. A certified journeyman carpenter since 2015, he still finds great satisfaction in the technical side of his work:
“When I draw structural details, I picture myself building the frame with my own hands.”
Outside of work, Yan Lavoie serves as an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, and remains passionate about aviation, hunting, and fishing. He loves mentoring young cadets, passing on the same inspiration he once received, guided by his favorite quote:
“Our only limit is our imagination.”
Yan’s journey perfectly reflects the spirit of Drummond House Plans — blending passion, craftsmanship, and creativity to help families bring their dream homes to life.
