We're not here to just draw pretty pictures. Our work's about creating spaces that genuinely work for how you live and breathe, while respecting the environment around us. Been at this for years, and honestly, every project still teaches us something new.
Every project's different, but there's a rhythm to what we do. Here's the path we usually take together.
We sit down, grab coffee, and really listen to what you're envisioning. No sales pitch - just understanding your needs and seeing if we're a good fit.
This is where ideas start taking shape. We explore possibilities, sketch concepts, and figure out what resonates with your vision and budget.
Getting into the details now. We develop the full design, handle permits, coordinate with engineers, and prep everything for construction.
We're with you through construction, making sure what gets built matches what we designed. And yeah, we check in after too.
Homes are personal. Like, really personal. Whether you're building from scratch or reworking what you've got, we focus on how you actually live day-to-day. Got kids running around? Work from home? Love entertaining? All that matters.
We've done everything from compact laneway houses in Vancouver's tight lots to sprawling family estates. Each one's unique because, well, you're unique. And we make sure your space works with BC's climate - rainy winters, gorgeous summers, all of it.
Your business space says a lot about who you are. We design commercial buildings that aren't just functional boxes - they're places where your team wants to work and your clients want to visit.
From boutique retail spaces in Gastown to office buildings that don't feel like soul-crushing cubicle farms, we balance aesthetics with practical stuff like workflow, accessibility, and yeah, keeping costs reasonable.
Look, sustainability isn't a trend for us - it's just how we work. We've been doing this since before it was cool to slap "green" on everything. It's about designing buildings that use less energy, cost less to run, and don't mess up the planet more than necessary.
We're not talking about gimmicks here. Passive solar orientation, proper insulation, natural ventilation - the basics that actually work. And when it makes sense, we integrate newer tech like heat pumps and rainwater collection. All while keeping your budget grounded in reality.
It's not just about where the walls go. We figure out how spaces flow together, where natural light lands throughout the day, and how rooms transition. Spent years learning that the small stuff - sight lines, acoustics, even how doors swing - makes or breaks a space.
Someone's gotta keep the trains running on time. We coordinate contractors, track budgets, handle change orders, and make sure what gets built actually matches the plans. Been on enough job sites to know that communication prevents most problems before they start.
Sometimes you don't need a full design - just expert advice. We do building assessments, feasibility studies, code compliance reviews, and second opinions on existing plans. Whether you're buying property or troubleshooting issues, we'll give you straight answers.
Honestly? We don't do cookie-cutter stuff. Never have. Each project gets our full attention, and we're not juggling 50 things at once. You'll actually work with the people who design your building, not some junior team while the principals are off somewhere else.
We're also based right here in Vancouver, so we know the local building codes inside out, understand the climate challenges, and have relationships with the good contractors and engineers. That local knowledge saves you time and headaches.
Here's what people usually ask us. Got something else on your mind? Just call.
Whether you've got detailed plans or just a rough idea, let's have a conversation. First consultation's on us - no pressure, just good discussion about what's possible.
