Started this practice because we kept seeing the same thing - buildings that ignore the landscape, materials that'll be junk in 20 years, spaces that look great in photos but feel... empty.
Our approach is different. We spend time on-site, we talk to neighbors, we figure out what trees stay (most of 'em, if we can help it). Every project gets the attention it deserves, not some template slapped on your lot.
Six services, one philosophy - build it right or don't build it
Your home shouldn't feel like everyone else's. We design houses that fit how you actually live - not some magazine spread fantasy.
Offices, retail spaces, mixed-use developments that people want to be in. Good design means good business, period.
Solar, geothermal, reclaimed materials - yeah, it costs a bit more upfront. But we'll show you the math on why it's worth it.
Flow matters. We've seen too many beautiful spaces that just... don't work. Let's make sure yours does.
Got an old building with good bones? We can bring it back without losing what made it special in the first place.
We'll walk you through LEED, Built Green, whatever certification makes sense. It's paperwork, but we've got it down.
From West Van waterfront homes to Gastown office renovations - here's some of what we've been up to lately
3,200 sq ft home that works with the slope instead of fighting it. Cedar siding, passive solar, views for days.
Converted warehouse space into a 5,000 sq ft office. Kept the brick, added skylights, actually fun to work in.
Look, we're in BC. We've got earthquakes, wildfires, flooding - climate change isn't some abstract concept here. It's real, and buildings are a huge part of the problem.
Every project we do now, we're thinking 50 years out. What materials last? What systems save energy? How do we keep this thing standing when the next big quake hits?
It's not just about saving the planet (though that's pretty important). It's about lower utility bills, healthier indoor air, and buildings that hold their value.
