Twenty years in Vancouver taught us something pretty clear—buildings shouldn't fight their surroundings. They should work with them. Sounds obvious, right? But you'd be surprised how many structures ignore basic stuff like where the sun hits or how wind moves through a space.
Our approach mixes contemporary design with sustainable practices that aren't just trendy checkboxes. We're talking real environmental impact assessments, materials that make sense for our climate, and spaces that'll still feel good decades from now.
More About Our ProcessSix core services that cover pretty much everything you'd need
From cozy laneway houses to full custom homes—we design spaces where you'll actually want to spend time. Not just look at in magazines.
Offices, retail spaces, mixed-use buildings—we create environments where people work better 'cause the space isn't fighting them.
Energy modeling, material selection, passive design strategies—the technical stuff that makes buildings perform without burning through resources.
Making sure the inside flows as well as the outside looks. Layout, circulation, lighting—all the details that separate good from great.
Bringing old structures into the present without losing what made them special. It's a balancing act we've gotten pretty good at.
Understanding what your project means for the surrounding ecosystem before you break ground. Smart planning prevents costly mistakes.
We've been fortunate enough to work on some pretty meaningful projects around Vancouver and beyond. Each one taught us something new about how architecture can serve both people and planet.
View PortfolioLook, we get it—everyone says they're sustainable these days. But we've been nerding out over passive solar design and thermal bridging since before it was cool. Our projects regularly outperform energy codes by 40% or more, not because we slap some solar panels on the roof, but because we think through every detail from orientation to material lifecycle.
British Columbia's climate gives us incredible opportunities for natural ventilation, daylighting, and rainwater management. We'd be pretty lousy architects if we ignored all that free energy and water cycling through our sites.
