Architectural design process

Who We Are

We're a Vancouver-based studio that's been wrestling with the big question: how do you create spaces people love without compromising what the planet needs?

Turns out, sustainable design isn't about sacrificing beauty for responsibility. It's about finding that sweet spot where both thrive. We've spent years figuring this out, and honestly, we're still learning with every project.

More About Us

What We Do

Six core services that cover pretty much everything from your first sketch to the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Residential Architecture

Your home shouldn't just look good in photos. We design living spaces that actually work for how you live - whether that's a compact urban condo or a sprawling family estate. Energy efficiency and comfort aren't mutually exclusive, trust us on this.

Commercial design

Commercial Design

Businesses need spaces that work hard. We get it. From retail to office towers, we create environments that boost productivity, impress clients, and yeah, keep those utility bills reasonable. Because who doesn't want that?

Sustainable Building Consultation

Got a project that needs to hit specific environmental targets? We'll walk you through certifications, material choices, and system integrations.

Urban Planning

Cities are complex puzzles. We work with municipalities and developers to create master plans that actually consider how people move, live, and interact.

Interior Architecture

The shell's important, but what happens inside matters just as much. We handle spatial flow, finishes, and all those details that make a space feel right.

Heritage Restoration

Old buildings have stories. We help preserve them while making sure they meet modern standards. It's delicate work, but somebody's gotta do it - and we've gotten pretty good at it over the years.

Start a Conversation

Our Approach

Look, we could throw around buzzwords all day. But here's the truth: good architecture isn't about following formulas or chasing trends. It's about listening - really listening - to what a space needs, what the environment can handle, and what you're trying to achieve.

Context Matters

Every site has its own story - climate, culture, history. We don't drop the same design everywhere and call it a day.

Long-Term Thinking

Buildings stick around. We design with decades in mind, not just what's popular right now.

Honest Materials

We use stuff that makes sense - environmentally, structurally, aesthetically. No faking it with veneers over junk.

Featured sustainable project

Recent Work

Our latest projects span residential estates in West Vancouver, mixed-use developments downtown, and a particularly challenging heritage restoration in Gastown that taught us a thing or two about patience.

Each one pushed us to solve different problems. That's what keeps this work interesting - no two sites are the same, no two clients want identical outcomes, and the climate's always throwing curveballs.

Recognition

We've been lucky enough to receive some nods from industry folks and organizations who care about sustainable design. It's nice validation, but honestly, the best feedback comes from clients who actually live and work in the spaces we create.
