If you’ve seen the family comedy “Are We Done Yet?” then you’ll likely remember the stately mansion used in the film. The movie follows newlyweds Nick (Ice Cube) and Suzanne (Nia Long) as they buy & fix their dream home for their family in the suburbs. In the film the family purchase a 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom mansion which is said to have been built in 1889 by legendary architect & philanthropist H. Van Hackett, there is also a charming stone cottage complete with wood burning fireplace on the property.
The film fooled me, watching it I believed it truly was an old mansion out in the countryside overlooking a lake. In reality this is nothing but a little bit of movie magic. The palatial “old mansion” was actually built in 2006-2007 in Burnaby’s Deer Lake Park overlooking Deer Lake. It was dismantled shortly after filming.
Nina Ruscio, Production Designer for the film, says, “I designed the house for three phases.” (First Phase: When the family purchases the fixer upper. Second Phase: When the home is ripped apart during the remodel. Third Phase: The finished House). “The house was fully engineered to be peeled away like an onion including the roof. The roof was a critical part of the story as the owner fixes up his house. I designed a rooftop deck for action, capable of a full camera crew with access from the third floor taking advantage of the views of Deer Lake.”
The entire structure was built to be shot from every angle. Ruscio says, “We built the entire first floor in the interior of the set house that we built on location maximizing the excellent views.” The attention to detail throughout the entire mansion and the grounds will leave you believing it really is a 100-year old home and not just a film set built in 2006. The stone cottage & pond were built on location, the cottage walls were fully removable for interior shooting.
Nina Ruscio designed the interior of the mansion to expose authenticity during the “deconstruction stage” including knob and tube wiring. While I was hoping to find an actual century-old mansion, I can’t say I’m not impressed with how detailed this “set house” was. An impressive job by everybody involved.

530 Salmon Road, North Saanich, British Columbia, Canada, V8M 1S5
Progressive for its day in 1974, when Daniel White, renowned BC Architect, conceived this 5,500 square foot West Coast Contemporary residence on the western facing shores of the Saanich Inlet.
Now, fully restored, and progressive once again, with the latest in technology; seamlessly united with its gentle sloping, forested site, complementing White`s dynamic, bold, yet environmentally empathetic design through a refined selection of natural materials, from both near and afar, executed to an unparalleled standard. This private, 2 acre, coastal sanctuary, hugs 400 feet of temperate rainforest waterfront, affording arresting ocean views through its fully glassed western exposure.
The intricately stepped plan further captures magical vistas of the surrounding towering trees and moon lit nights through an interlocking series of arched skylights. Interior open planning furthers this intriguing visual experience, reinstating the site`s natural topography as well as its tactile richness through a matrix of locally milled cedar, and custom quarried Rajasthani slate floors – both inside and out.
The understated natural palette defers to the daylight views beyond, while at night, this selection, further enhanced with Australian brush box flooring, black honed granite counters and cabinetry panels of resin embedded reeds, come into their own through a carefully designed system of programmable lighting. Both broad expanses and precise vignettes of glass are secured through a system of top grade commercial windows and doors.
State of the art seismic engineering secures the structure to its foundation. Several exterior decks continue the stepped progression providing an entertaining BBQ area; a pool with adjoining changing room and steam/shower; separate guest or caretaker quarters; as well as coastline decks that offer a variety of transitional daylight and shade opportunities to enjoy both White’s remarkable creation and one of Victoria’s finest coastlines.
