We're not about cookie-cutter designs. Every building tells a story, and we've spent the last decade helping our clients find theirs through contemporary urban design that actually respects the environment.
Based in Vancouver, we've watched this city grow and change. Our studio's been part of that transformation, designing spaces that don't just look good in renders but actually work for the people using them every day. Whether it's a high-rise downtown or restoring a heritage building in Gastown, we bring the same approach: honest design that considers both form and function.
We've narrowed our focus over the years. Instead of trying to do everything, we concentrate on what we're genuinely good at. That means you're working with people who've literally spent thousands of hours perfecting their craft in these specific areas.

42-unit sustainable housing project
We spent six months just figuring out how to make this building feel like it belonged on that street. The result? Current residents actually talk to their neighbors, which is kinda rare these days in new developments.

Mixed-use commercial space
The client wanted "Google vibes" but we pushed back and created something unique to Vancouver's tech scene. Now it's become a bit of a landmark on that stretch of Granville, which wasn't the plan but we'll take it.

We've been integrating passive solar design, rainwater harvesting, and energy recovery systems since before LEED was a thing. It's not about chasing certifications - though we've got those too - it's about designing buildings that'll still make sense in 50 years.
