What We Do

Services That Actually Make Sense

We've spent years figuring out what works and what doesn't. No cookie-cutter solutions here - just honest architectural work tailored to what you're actually trying to achieve.

Look, we get it - every architect says they're different. But here's the thing: we've been doing this long enough to know that buildings need to work for the people inside them, not just look good in photos. Let's talk about what we can do for you.

Residential Design

Residential Design & Planning

Whether you're building from scratch or reimagining what you've got, we'll help you create a home that actually feels like yours. We've done everything from compact urban townhouses to sprawling countryside retreats.

The process? Pretty straightforward. We sit down, talk about how you live (not how you think you should live), figure out your budget, and design something that works. We handle the permits, coordinate with engineers, and make sure your contractor knows exactly what's what.

  • Custom home design from concept to completion
  • Site analysis and feasibility studies
  • Zoning and permit coordination
  • 3D visualization and walkthroughs
  • Construction documentation

Commercial Architecture

Commercial Architecture

Commercial spaces are tricky - they need to work hard, look professional, and not break the bank. We've designed retail shops, office buildings, restaurants, and mixed-use developments across Toronto and beyond.

Your business has specific needs, and we're not gonna pretend we know them better than you do. What we bring to the table is years of experience making spaces that actually function well while meeting all those pesky building codes and accessibility requirements.

  • Office and workspace design
  • Retail and hospitality projects
  • Mixed-use developments
  • Tenant improvement and fit-outs
  • Accessibility compliance

Sustainable Building

Sustainable Building Solutions

Here's where we really geek out. Sustainable design isn't just some trend we're jumping on - it's kinda our whole thing. Every project we touch gets the sustainability treatment, whether you're specifically asking for it or not.

We're talking passive solar design, smart material choices, energy modeling, renewable integration - the works. And no, it doesn't always mean spending more upfront. Sometimes the greenest solution is also the most cost-effective one. Funny how that works.

  • Energy modeling and performance analysis
  • Passive house design strategies
  • Renewable energy integration
  • Material lifecycle assessment
  • LEED consultation and certification

Interior Space Planning

Sometimes the structure's fine, but the layout just doesn't work. We'll help you rethink your interior spaces to make them more functional. It's amazing what moving a few walls can do - or not moving them, as the case may be.

We do space programming, furniture layouts, lighting design, and material selection. Think of it as architecture from the inside out.

Renovation & Restoration

Got an older building that needs some love? We're into that. Renovations are honestly some of our favorite projects because there's history there. We've worked on heritage buildings, mid-century homes, and everything in between.

The trick is respecting what's there while making it work for modern life. We know how to blend old and new without making things look awkward.

Building Code Consultation

Let's be real - building codes aren't exactly light reading. If you're working with another designer or going solo on something, we can consult on code compliance, zoning issues, and permit applications.

We stay current on Ontario Building Code updates and Toronto's specific requirements. It's not glamorous work, but it'll save you from costly mistakes down the road.

How We Work

No two projects are the same, but here's generally how things go down when you work with us.

01

Initial Chat

We meet, you tell us what you're thinking, we ask a bunch of questions, and figure out if we're a good fit. No pressure.

02

Design Phase

We develop concepts, show you options, refine based on your feedback. This part's collaborative - your input matters.

03

Documentation

We create detailed drawings, specifications, and all the paperwork needed for permits and construction. The boring but crucial stuff.

04

Build Support

We're available during construction to answer questions, review work, and make sure everything's going according to plan.

Working Process

Getting Started

Ready to Talk About Your Project?

Whether you've got detailed plans or just a vague idea, we're happy to chat. First consultation's free - we'll give you honest feedback on what's possible, what it might cost, and whether we're the right team for you.

Projects typically range from a few months to over a year depending on scope, but we'll give you realistic timelines upfront. We're based in Toronto but take on projects throughout Ontario.
