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.
Our Story
Six core services, countless successful projects
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Every location's different - we design accordingly
Your project, your vision, our expertise
Designing for decades, not just today
Smart choices that maximize value
Each one taught us something new
Passive house standards with ocean views - turned out even better than we sketched it. The family says their heating bill is basically nothing.
They wanted flexible workspace that didn't feel corporate. Green roof, tons of natural light, spaces that actually encourage collaboration.
1920s character meets 2020s efficiency. Kept the exposed brick and timber, added invisible modern systems. Best of both worlds.
Whether you're starting from scratch or renovating something special, let's grab a coffee and talk it through. No pressure, no sales pitch - just honest conversation about what's possible.
