Forging Modern Spaces with Natural Elements
We're not about slapping solar panels on boring boxes and calling it sustainable. Real green design means buildings that breathe, adapt, and actually enhance their environment.
Look, there's plenty of firms that'll give you what you think you want. We'd rather spend time figuring out what you actually need. Sometimes that's a complete redesign, sometimes it's just tweaking what's already there.
Based in Vancouver, we've worked on everything from heritage restorations where you can't touch half the building, to ground-up commercial spaces where the only limit is physics (and budget, always budget). What ties it together? Making sure the end result doesn't fight against the environment it sits in.
More About Our ApproachSix main areas, but honestly they all blend together on most projects. That's kind of the point.
Offices, retail, mixed-use... basically any building where people come to work or shop. We focus on spaces that don't make everyone miserable by 2pm.
Houses, condos, townhomes. Where you actually live, so yeah, we take it seriously.
This isn't a separate service, it's baked into everything. Passive heating, natural light, material choices that don't cost the earth.
Flow matters. We've seen too many beautiful buildings that just don't work once people start using them.
Old buildings have character, but they also have problems. Finding that balance between preservation and making them actually usable.
Sometimes you need someone to deal with city hall, zoning regs, and all that fun stuff. We've been through it enough times.
Our latest commercial build in North Van uses the site's natural slope for passive cooling, cuts energy costs by about 40%, and somehow the client's still getting compliments on how it looks. That's the sweet spot.

Every project's different, but here's the general idea. We're flexible though - sometimes you skip steps, sometimes you loop back.
We ask questions. Lots of 'em. Better to figure out what you need now than halfway through construction.
Sketches, models, renders. We go back and forth until it feels right, then work out the technical details.
Construction drawings, permits, specs. Not the fun part, but it's gotta be done right or everything falls apart.
We stick around during construction. Stuff comes up, changes happen. Better to have us there to work through it.
Whether you've got detailed plans or just a rough idea, we're happy to chat. First conversation's always free - worst case, you get some free advice.
