We don't do cookie-cutter stuff

Look, we've been working with steel, concrete, and glass for over fifteen years now. Started in a cramped office downtown and learned pretty quick that what Vancouver really needs is architects who aren't scared to push boundaries a bit.

Our thing? Taking industrial elements - those raw, honest materials - and turning 'em into spaces that actually work for people. Whether it's a warehouse conversion or a ground-up commercial build, we're all about that balance between looking sharp and being functional.

What We're Good At

Industrial Architecture Design

We've converted more old factories than we can count. There's something about breathing new life into existing industrial bones that gets us excited every time.

Contemporary Residential Projects

Modern homes that don't feel cold or sterile. We design living spaces where people actually want to hang out, with clean lines and smart layouts.

Commercial Building Development

From retail to office spaces, we handle the whole process. Budget management, contractor coordination, all that stuff that keeps projects moving.

Sustainable Design Solutions

Going green isn't just trendy anymore - it's necessary. We integrate passive strategies and energy-efficient systems without making a big fuss about it.

3D Visualization & Rendering

Helps when clients can actually see what they're getting before breaking ground. Our renders are pretty realistic - no overpromising with impossible lighting.

Construction Administration

We stick around through the build phase. Site visits, answering contractor questions, making sure what gets built matches what we drew up.

Architectural Detail

Materials matter to us

There's this moment during every project where the structural steel goes up and you can finally see the skeleton of what you've been drawing for months. That's when it hits you - this thing's actually gonna exist. We work with materials that'll outlast all of us, so yeah, we take it seriously.

Industrial Interior

Working in Vancouver means dealing with rain, seismic codes, and clients who want big windows. We've figured out how to make it all work.

Grounded in Vancouver's Reality

Been based on Homer Street for the past eight years. Love this city, but let's be honest - designing here comes with challenges. The weather, the building codes, the crazy real estate market.

What keeps us going? Working with clients who trust us enough to try something different. Commercial developers who aren't scared of exposed ductwork. Homeowners who get why we're obsessed with natural light.

We've done projects from Yaletown to the North Shore, and each one taught us something new about what works in this climate and this market.
