What We Do

Services That Actually Matter

Look, we're not gonna throw fancy jargon at you. We design buildings that work for real people, respect the past, and don't trash the planet. It's really that straightforward.

Been doing this for years now, and honestly? Every project teaches us something new. We've learned to listen more than we talk, because turns out, you know your space better than anyone.

Residential Architecture Design

Your home should fit how you actually live, not some magazine fantasy. We design spaces that grow with you.

Here's what we're talking about:

  • Custom home design that reflects your lifestyle
  • Multi-family residential projects
  • Renovation & addition planning
  • Space optimization (Vancouver lots ain't big)
  • Energy-efficient design integration

We've worked with families who need a home office, musicians who need soundproofing, and folks who just want more natural light. Every project's different.

Commercial Building Development

Commercial spaces need to work hard. We balance function, aesthetics, and the bottom line without compromising on quality.

We handle:

  • Office buildings & co-working spaces
  • Retail & hospitality design
  • Mixed-use developments
  • Adaptive reuse projects
  • Community centers & public spaces

Worked on everything from boutique shops to mid-sized office buildings. The key? Understanding how people move through space and what makes them wanna stick around.

Heritage Building Restoration

Old buildings have stories to tell. We preserve what matters while making them work for today's needs.

Our restoration work includes:

  • Historical building assessment & documentation
  • Heritage designation applications
  • Structural stabilization & repairs
  • Period-appropriate material sourcing
  • Modern system integration (HVAC, electrical)

There's something special about breathing new life into a century-old building. It's like detective work meets craftsmanship, and honestly? It's our favorite kind of challenge.

Sustainable Green Building Consultation

Green building isn't a trend for us, it's just how we work. Let's make your project sustainable without breaking the bank.

What we bring to the table:

  • LEED certification guidance
  • Passive house design principles
  • Solar & renewable energy integration
  • Water conservation systems
  • Material lifecycle analysis
  • Energy modeling & optimization

We've seen too many "green" projects that are just greenwashing. Our approach? Practical, measurable improvements that actually save you money long-term.

Urban Planning & Development

Cities are living organisms. We help them grow in ways that make sense for the people who call them home.

Planning services we offer:

  • Master planning for new developments
  • Neighborhood revitalization strategies
  • Zoning & regulatory navigation
  • Transit-oriented development
  • Public space design
  • Community engagement & consultation

Vancouver's changing fast, and not all of it's for the better. We try to push for development that strengthens communities instead of displacing them.

Interior Architectural Design

The inside matters just as much as the outside. We create interiors that feel right, not just look pretty in photos.

Interior services include:

  • Space planning & flow optimization
  • Material & finish selection
  • Custom millwork & built-in design
  • Lighting design & acoustic planning
  • Furniture coordination
  • Color consultation

We're not decorators - we're architects who understand structure, systems, and how people actually use space. There's a difference, and it shows in the final result.

How We Work

No two projects are the same, but our process? Pretty consistent. We've refined it over the years to cut out the fluff and focus on what actually moves things forward.

1
Initial Chat

We sit down (or hop on a call) and just talk. What do you want? What's the budget? What keeps you up at night about this project?

2
Site Assessment

We visit the site, take measurements, check out the neighborhood, and start getting a feel for what's possible.

3
Concept Development

We sketch, model, and play with ideas. You'll see options - usually 2 or 3 different directions we could take.

4
Design Refinement

We take your feedback and dig deeper. This is where the magic happens - details, materials, systems, all the good stuff.

5
Documentation & Permits

Yeah, the bureaucratic stuff. We handle it so you don't have to deal with city hall's paperwork maze.

6
Construction Oversight

We don't just hand over drawings and disappear. We're there during construction making sure it's built right.

Book a Consultation

Got a project in mind? Let's talk about it. First consultation's free - we'll spend about an hour going over your ideas and see if we're a good fit.

We'll get back to you within 24 hours (usually way faster)

Team discussing architectural plans

Why Work With Us?

Honestly? We're not for everyone. If you want cookie-cutter designs or the cheapest option, there are plenty of other studios out there. But if you want architects who actually care about your project and aren't afraid to tell you when an idea won't work - we might be your people.

We're Straight Shooters

No BS, no hidden fees. If something's gonna be a problem, we'll tell you upfront.

Experience That Actually Counts

We've made mistakes, learned from them, and now know how to avoid 'em on your project.

Sustainability by Default

It's 2024 - we're not designing buildings that'll be obsolete in 10 years.

We Stick Around

Construction's messy. We're there to make sure your vision doesn't get lost in translation.

Quick note: We typically take on 8-12 major projects per year. This lets us give each one the attention it deserves instead of spreading ourselves too thin. If we're booked up, we're happy to recommend other studios we trust.
