Who We Are
Building a better tomorrow, one thoughtful design at a time
Started back in 2012, we weren't trying to reinvent the wheel – just make buildings that actually make sense for the people using 'em and the planet we're all sharing.
Look, there's plenty of firms out there churning out cookie-cutter designs. That's never been our thing. We got into this because we genuinely believe architecture can do better – be smarter about energy, more honest with materials, and actually respond to how folks live their lives.
Vancouver's always been ahead on the sustainability curve, and we're proud to be part of that conversation. We've worked on everything from compact residential projects where every square foot matters to commercial spaces that needed to balance brand identity with serious environmental targets.
What keeps us going? Honestly, it's seeing a client walk through their finished space for the first time and just... get it. That moment when the design clicks and they realize their building's gonna work with them, not against them.
These aren't just buzzwords we throw around – they're the stuff we actually argue about over coffee and lose sleep over when a project's heating system isn't performing like it should.
Every material choice, every system decision – we're thinking about the long game. Not just green certification boxes, but real environmental impact.
Buildings exist for people. Sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised. We obsess over sightlines, natural light, and how spaces actually feel to move through.
We're kinda nerdy about construction details and material connections. Because that's where good design either comes together or falls apart.
Building science evolves, climate challenges shift, materials improve. We're constantly updating our approach based on what's actually working out there.
We're a mixed bunch – architects who started in construction, designers with engineering backgrounds, sustainability nerds who can actually explain passive house principles without putting you to sleep.
Everyone here's licensed and experienced, sure, but what really matters is we're all genuinely invested in making buildings that work better. Whether that's a junior designer who's obsessed with optimizing solar orientation or our principal who's been perfecting curtain wall details for 20 years.
We do our best work when we're collaborating – with each other, with engineers, with contractors who know their stuff, and especially with clients who aren't afraid to push back when something doesn't make sense to them.
Let's Chat About Your ProjectEach project teaches us something new. Here's a few that really pushed our thinking.
Whether you're just kicking around ideas or have a full set of requirements, let's talk. First conversation's always informal – just figuring out if we're a good fit.
