Vancouver-Based Studio

We're not your typical architecture firm

Look, we've been doing this since before "green building" became trendy. Started in Vancouver back when people thought passive solar was just fancy talk. Now? We're seeing those early projects still performing beautifully while cutting energy bills by half.

Every project teaches us something new. Last month, we worked with a family who wanted their heritage home restored but modernized - turns out those old builders knew a thing or two about natural cooling. We just helped them rediscover it.

What we're good at

Six core services, countless successful projects

Residential Design

Your home should reflect how you actually live, not some magazine spread. We spend time understanding your routines, your quirks, your favorite spot for morning coffee - then design around that.

Commercial Architecture

Offices and commercial spaces that people don't dread walking into. Natural light, proper ventilation, spaces that adapt - it's amazing what happens to productivity when buildings work with people instead of against them.

Sustainable Building Solutions

This is where we really geek out. Rainwater harvesting, geothermal systems, solar orientation - but only what makes sense for your site and budget. No greenwashing, just proven tech that pays for itself.

Interior Space Planning

Ever notice how some spaces just feel right? That's not luck - it's understanding flow, proportions, and how people move. We've gotten pretty good at making every square foot count.

Project Management

Construction can be chaotic. We've learned to keep things on track without losing our minds or yours. Regular updates, honest timelines, and we actually return phone calls.

Heritage Restoration

Old buildings have character you can't replicate. We preserve what makes them special while sneaking in modern comfort and efficiency. It's like giving history a second chance.

Sustainable Materials
Our Approach

Design that actually works

We've seen too many "sustainable" buildings that look great on paper but fail in real life. Our process starts with the site - what's the sun doing? Where's the wind coming from? What grows naturally here?

Then we talk about how you'll use the space. Not just now, but five or ten years down the road. Kids growing up? Planning to age in place? Starting a business from home? These answers shape everything.

Recent projects we're proud of

Each one taught us something new

Residential Project

West Van Family Home

Passive house standards with ocean views - turned out even better than we sketched it. The family says their heating bill is basically nothing.

Commercial Project

Downtown Tech Hub

They wanted flexible workspace that didn't feel corporate. Green roof, tons of natural light, spaces that actually encourage collaboration.

Heritage Restoration

Gastown Warehouse Conversion

1920s character meets 2020s efficiency. Kept the exposed brick and timber, added invisible modern systems. Best of both worlds.
