What We Do

We've spent years figuring out how to make buildings that actually fit into their surroundings instead of fighting against 'em. Here's what we're pretty good at.

Every project starts with a conversation over coffee - usually too much coffee - where we figure out what you actually need versus what you think you need. Sometimes they're the same thing, but honestly? Not usually. And that's totally fine because that's where the interesting work happens.

Residential Design & Planning

Your home shouldn't feel like everyone else's. We design spaces that match how you actually live - not some magazine spread fantasy.

Commercial Architecture

Buildings where people want to work, shop, or hang out. Revolutionary concept, right? But you'd be surprised how often it gets overlooked.

Sustainable Building Solutions

This isn't just slapping solar panels on stuff. We've got strategies for making buildings that'll still be efficient decades from now.

Interior Space Optimization

Ever feel like your space is fighting you? We rethink layouts so rooms actually work with what you're trying to do in 'em.

Landscape Integration Design

Buildings don't exist in a vacuum. We make sure yours connects to what's around it - trees, hills, water, all that good stuff.

Heritage Building Restoration

Old buildings have stories worth keeping. We update 'em for modern life without erasing what made them special in the first place.

How We Actually Work

Look, the truth is every project's different. But we've got a pretty solid rhythm after doing this for years. First meeting's always relaxed - bring your ideas, even the weird ones. Especially the weird ones, honestly.

Then we dig into site analysis, which sounds boring but it's where we figure out what your land's trying to tell us. Sunlight patterns, wind flow, existing trees you definitely shouldn't cut down - all that matters way more than most people think.

Design phase is collaborative. You're not gonna get radio silence for three months and then some big reveal. We check in, adjust, rethink things when they're not working. Because they won't always work on the first try, and pretending otherwise is just setting everyone up for disappointment.

The Nordic Connection

People ask why we're so into Nordic design here in Vancouver. Simple - it's built for climates that aren't trying to kill you with heat. Rain, grey skies, mountains nearby? That's basically Scandinavia with better coffee shops.

Minimalist Structure

We're not about stripping away everything. It's about keeping what actually serves a purpose and ditching the rest. Clean lines aren't cold - they're calm.

Natural Light Focus

When daylight's at a premium half the year, you learn to work with it. Big windows placed right, light wells, reflective surfaces - it all adds up.

Energy Smart

Heating costs up north taught architects to think hard about insulation and thermal mass. Those lessons work anywhere, and your utility bills will thank you.
