Look, we've been doing this for a while now, and honestly? The best part isn't the fancy awards or magazine features - it's watching someone walk into a space we designed and just... get it.
Based right here in Vancouver, we're a team that's kinda obsessed with two things that don't usually go together: cutting-edge sustainable design and restoring old buildings that deserve another shot. Weird combo, maybe. But it works.
Whether you're thinking about a new build, want to transform an existing space, or you've got a heritage property that needs some serious love - we've probably done something similar and learned a few hard lessons along the way.

Your home shouldn't feel like it came off an assembly line. We spend time figuring out how you actually live, then design around that. Yeah, it takes longer. But you'll be living there for decades, so...
Offices, retail spaces, mixed-use - we've done 'em all. The trick is balancing what looks good with what actually functions when 200 people are using it every day.
This one's close to our hearts. Taking a building from 1920 and making it work for 2024 without losing its soul? That's the challenge we live for.
We're not gonna lecture you about saving the planet, but here's the deal - green buildings cost less to run, they're healthier to be in, and they don't become obsolete in 15 years. Just makes sense, y'know?
The outside's important, sure. But if the inside doesn't flow right, people notice. We obsess over sight lines, natural light, and how spaces connect way more than probably healthy.
Sometimes you need someone who understands zoning, permits, neighborhood dynamics, and all that bureaucratic stuff. Been navigating Vancouver's development scene long enough to know the shortcuts.
We're not perfect, but we're trying. Every project we take on, we push for better materials, smarter energy use, and designs that'll actually stand up to climate change. Because honestly, what's the point of building something new if it's gonna be obsolete in 20 years?
We've got LEED certified folks on the team, we work with local suppliers whenever possible, and we're always testing new approaches. Some work great. Some... well, that's how you learn.
See How We Approach SustainabilityThese projects kept us up at night (in a good way, mostly). Each one taught us something new.
Turned a 1912 warehouse into mixed-use space without losing the character that made it special
Our first net-zero residential project - learned a ton about passive solar and geothermal systems
Whether you've got detailed plans or just a napkin sketch, we'd love to hear about it. Grab a coffee with us and let's see if we're a good fit.
No pressure, no hard sell - just a conversation about what you're trying to build and whether we can help make it happen.
