What We Actually Do

Look, we've been doing this for years now, and honestly? Each project teaches us something new. Whether you're looking to build your dream home or reshape a city block, we've got the experience and the drive to make it happen right.

Our Approach

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every client's different, every site has its quirks, and frankly, that's what makes our job interesting. We spend time understanding what you need before we even touch a drafting table.

Residential Architecture

We've designed everything from cozy laneway houses to sprawling family estates across BC. Your home's gotta reflect how you live, not some magazine spread. We'll walk through your daily routines, figure out what bugs you about typical layouts, and create spaces that actually work for you.

  • Custom homes & estates
  • Renovations & additions
  • Multi-family housing
  • Laneway & garden suites

Commercial Building Design

Commercial work's a different beast – you're balancing aesthetics with serious functionality and ROI. We've done retail spaces, offices, mixed-use developments... the works. The key? Understanding your business model before we start designing. A yoga studio needs different vibes than a tech startup office.

  • Office buildings
  • Retail & hospitality
  • Mixed-use developments
  • Industrial & warehouse

Urban Planning & Development

From neighborhood revitalization to transit-oriented development, we work with municipalities and developers to create places people actually want to live in, not just pass through.

  • Master planning
  • Community development
  • Zoning & land use
  • Transit-oriented design

Sustainable Design Consulting

Here's the thing – sustainable design isn't some luxury add-on anymore. It's essential, and honestly, it saves you money in the long run. We'll analyze your project for energy efficiency, material selection, water management, you name it. Been through enough LEED certifications to know what actually works versus what's just greenwashing.

  • LEED certification support
  • Energy modeling
  • Passive design strategies
  • Material lifecycle analysis

It takes patience and a real appreciation for craftsmanship from another era.

  • Heritage assessments
  • Adaptive reuse
  • Restoration & conservation
  • Heritage designation support

Interior Architecture

Sometimes the bones are good but the insides need a complete rethink. We handle interior architecture for both new builds and renovations – space planning, material selections, custom millwork, lighting design. The goal's always creating interiors that flow naturally and feel intentional, not like you just picked stuff from a catalog.

  • Space planning & layout

  • Custom millwork design
  • Lighting & acoustics

How We Work With You

Discovery Phase: We sit down (or video call, whatever works) and really dig into what you're trying to achieve. Budget, timeline, must-haves, nice-to-haves – let's get it all on the table.

Concept Development: This is where we start sketching ideas. We'll present a few different directions, and honestly, sometimes the best solution comes from combining elements you liked from different concepts.

Design Development: Once we've nailed down the concept, we refine everything – materials, systems, details. This is where the project really starts to feel real.

Documentation: We prepare all the drawings and specs needed for permits and construction. Yeah, it's tedious, but it's crucial for avoiding problems down the road.

Construction Support: We don't just hand off drawings and disappear. We're there during construction to answer questions, review submittals, and make sure the vision's being executed properly.

Ready to Get Started?

Whether you've got a fully formed vision or just a napkin sketch, we'd love to hear about it. First conversation's always casual – no pressure, just figuring out if we're a good fit for each other.
