Six Ways We Transform Spaces
Every project's different, but our approach stays consistent - listen first, design smart, and make sure it actually works in the real world.
Residential Architecture
Look, designing homes isn't just about drawing pretty floor plans. We dive deep into how you actually live - where you drink your morning coffee, how the kids move through the space, where natural light hits throughout the day. Whether it's a new build from scratch or reimagining your current place, we're all about creating homes that feel right, not just look right.

- Renovations & additions
- Multi-family housing
- Laneway homes
Commercial Building Design
Commercial spaces gotta work hard - they need to impress clients, keep employees happy, and make financial sense all at once. We've done everything from boutique offices to retail spaces that actually get foot traffic. The trick is balancing brand identity with practical functionality, and yeah, keeping an eye on the bottom line too.

- Retail & hospitality
- Mixed-use developments
- Adaptive reuse projects
Urban Planning & Development
Cities are living organisms, right? We help shape neighborhoods that actually make sense - where people wanna walk, businesses can thrive, and communities naturally form. It's part data analysis, part crystal ball gazing, and a whole lot of understanding how humans interact with their environment. We've worked on everything from small streetscape improvements to master planning entire districts.
Sustainable Design Consulting
Sustainability isn't just a buzzword for us - it's baked into everything we do. But let's be real, green design needs to make practical sense too. We help clients navigate LEED certifications, energy modeling, and material selection without breaking the bank. Sometimes it's the simple stuff that makes the biggest impact - proper orientation, smart ventilation, choosing materials that'll actually last.
Interior Space Planning
Ever walked into a space and just felt... off? That's bad space planning. We obsess over how spaces flow, where furniture actually goes (not just in theory), and how people move through rooms. It's like choreography, but for buildings. Whether we're working with a blank slate or trying to fix a problematic layout, we make interiors that work as good as they look.
Historic Building Restoration
There's something special about breathing new life into old buildings. Toronto's got incredible architectural heritage, and we've been lucky enough to work on preserving some of it. The challenge? Respecting the original character while making these buildings work for modern needs. You can't just slap some paint on century-old brick and call it done.
We work closely with heritage committees, structural engineers, and craftspeople who still know how to do things the old way. Sometimes that means sourcing period-appropriate materials, other times it's about clever interventions that honor the past while embracing the present. It's detective work meets design, and honestly, some of our most rewarding projects.
