What We Do Best

From bringing old buildings back to life to creating spaces that actually work for how people live today - we've been doing this for years and honestly, we still get excited about every project.

How We Can Help You

Look, every project's different, and that's what keeps things interesting around here. Whether you're looking to restore a century-old gem or design something brand new that won't kill the planet, we've got the experience and the passion to make it happen. Here's the breakdown of what we offer.

Residential Architecture Design

Homes aren't just structures - they're where life actually happens, y'know? We spend time understanding how you and your family move through space, what drives you crazy about your current place, and what you dream about when you imagine your perfect home. Whether it's a complete custom build or renovating what you've already got, we focus on creating spaces that feel right, not just look good in photos.

We've designed everything from cozy laneway houses to sprawling family estates, and honestly, the smaller projects teach us just as much as the big ones. Energy efficiency isn't an add-on for us - it's baked into everything we do from day one.

Let's Talk About Your Home

Commercial Building Planning

Commercial projects come with their own set of challenges - zoning headaches, accessibility requirements, making sure your investment actually pays off. We've navigated these waters enough times to know where the pitfalls are and how to avoid 'em.

From retail spaces that pull people in off the street to office buildings where people actually want to work, we balance functionality with the kind of design that makes your building stand out. And yeah, we're pretty good at keeping projects on budget and on schedule, which seems to be a rare thing these days.

Heritage Building Restoration

This is where things get really interesting for us. There's something special about walking into a building that's got a century of stories in its walls and figuring out how to preserve that character while making it work for modern life. It's like solving a puzzle where half the pieces are hidden and you've gotta respect what came before.

We've worked with heritage committees, navigated the red tape, and learned how to blend old-world craftsmanship with today's building codes and energy standards. Sometimes it means tracking down artisans who still know how to do things the traditional way. It's detailed work, but man, is it rewarding.

Sustainable Design Consulting

Green building isn't just a trend for us - it's kinda become second nature at this point. We help clients figure out which sustainable strategies actually make sense for their project and budget, 'cause let's be honest, not every eco-friendly option works for every situation.

Passive solar design, rainwater harvesting, material selection that doesn't cost the earth (literally and financially) - we've tested these approaches in real projects and know what works in Toronto's climate. Plus, we can help you navigate LEED certification if that's your thing, though we're more interested in actual performance than just checking boxes.

Urban Planning Solutions

Cities are complex organisms, and planning at the urban scale means thinking about how everything connects - transportation, green space, community needs, and yeah, even where people are gonna get their coffee. We've worked on neighborhood revitalization projects and mixed-use developments that actually enhance the community rather than bulldoze its character.

Our approach combines data (because you need the numbers) with on-the-ground observation and listening to what people who actually live there have to say. Sometimes the best solutions come from conversations in local cafes, not just from planning documents.

Interior Space Optimization

Ever walk into a room and just feel like something's off? We specialize in making spaces work better without necessarily tearing down walls (though sometimes that helps too). It's about flow, light, and making every square foot count, especially in Toronto where space comes at a premium.

We look at how you actually use your space - not how you think you should use it - and design accordingly. Storage that doesn't look like storage, flexible spaces that adapt to different needs, lighting that changes the whole mood... it's the details that make the difference between a house and a home you love.

The Process (It's Pretty Straightforward)

We're not gonna make this more complicated than it needs to be. Here's generally how things go:

Initial Chat

We meet, you tell us what you're thinking, we ask a bunch of questions. No charge for this - we just wanna see if we're a good fit.

Concept Development

We sketch ideas, explore possibilities, and start shaping your vision into something buildable. This is the fun, creative part where anything's still possible.

Design Refinement

We nail down the details, work through the technical stuff, and make sure everything meets codes and regs. Less glamorous but super important.

Construction Support

We don't just hand off drawings and disappear. We're there during construction to answer questions and make sure the vision actually gets built right.

Got a Project in Mind?

Whether you've got detailed plans or just a vague idea you've been mulling over, we'd love to hear about it. Seriously, some of our best projects started as napkin sketches and "what if we could..." conversations.
