Our Story
It started with a simple question back in 2008: why can't beautiful architecture also heal the planet instead of hurting it?
Designing Tomorrow's Spaces with Environmental Consciousness
It started with a simple question back in 2008: why can't beautiful architecture also heal the planet instead of hurting it?
We don't believe in choosing between aesthetics and responsibility - that's a false choice that's held back architecture for too long.
Every project we take on is a chance to prove that sustainable design doesn't mean compromise. It means thinking harder, caring more, and pushing boundaries until we find solutions that work for people AND the environment.
We've seen firsthand how buildings shape communities. The materials we specify today will be around for generations. That weight sits with us through every design decision, every client meeting, every site visit.
Honestly? We're not perfect. But we're learning, adapting, and improving with each build. That's what keeps this work exciting after all these years.

Founding Principal & Lead Architect
Started this firm with a beat-up laptop and way too much coffee. Still drinks too much coffee, but now we've got a great team and projects we're proud of. B.Arch from UBC, LEED AP certified.
Senior Architect & Sustainability Director
Joined us in 2012 after working on some massive corporate projects - realized she wanted to actually make a difference. Holds dual degrees in Architecture and Environmental Science.
Project Manager & Client Relations
The guy who keeps us all on schedule and somehow manages to keep clients smiling through the chaos of construction. Ten years in project management, can read a Gantt chart in his sleep.
Look, we could fill this page with industry jargon and fancy terminology. But here's what it really comes down to:
We love what we do. There's something incredible about seeing a space transform from sketches and models into a real place where people live, work, and connect. And knowing that space is built to last, built responsibly, built with future generations in mind? That's what gets us out of bed in the morning.
Vancouver's our home, and we're watching this city evolve. We want to be part of shaping it into something better - denser but more livable, modern but respectful of what came before, growing but not at the planet's expense.
Every beam, every window, every material choice is a conversation between form, function, and responsibility. Sometimes those conversations get heated - in the best way. That tension is where the good stuff happens.
We're always up for a conversation about your project - whether it's a complete building, a renovation, or just an idea you're kicking around.
