And honestly? The whole "architecture as art" thing gets old fast. Sure, pretty buildings are nice, but if they're energy vampires or don't fit how people actually use them, what's the point?
We got into this because Vancouver needs designers who get it - the rain, the seismic codes, the fact that sustainable doesn't mean sacrificing aesthetics. It means working smarter.
Whether you're planning a new home in Kitsilano or reimagining a commercial space downtown, we're gonna ask weird questions about how sunlight moves through your space and where the thermal bridges are hiding. That's just how we roll.
Get to Know UsSix core services that cover pretty much everything you'd need
From laneway houses to full custom homes, we'll make your space work harder. No cookie-cutter floor plans here - just designs that fit how you actually live.
Office spaces, retail, mixed-use developments - we've done 'em all. The goal's always the same: maximize functionality without killing your budget or the planet.
This isn't a buzzword for us - it's literally in every decision we make. LEED? Passive House? Net-zero? Yeah, we speak that language fluently.
Big picture stuff. Neighborhood planning, zoning strategy, density studies. We help developers and cities figure out what actually makes sense for a site.
Sometimes you don't need a whole new building - just someone to look at your existing space and say "hey, what if we moved this wall?" Often saves a ton of money.
Vancouver's old buildings have stories worth keeping. We're pretty good at updating them for modern use while respecting what made them special in the first place.
Coffee's on us. Let's talk about what you're trying to build.
Get In Touch Check Our WorkBC's got some aggressive climate targets, and honestly? Good. Buildings account for a massive chunk of emissions, and if we're designing new ones that don't hit Passive House or near-net-zero standards, we're part of the problem.
We've been geeking out on building science for years - thermal modeling, air tightness testing, embodied carbon calculations. Yeah, it's nerdy. But it means your building performs like it should instead of bleeding energy and money.
Plus Vancouver's climate is perfect for this stuff. Mild winters, natural ventilation opportunities, tons of hydro power. We'd be idiots not to take advantage of it.
