What We Do

Look, your home isn't just four walls and a roof. It's where life happens - the good mornings, the late nights, everything in between. We design residential spaces that actually fit how you live, not some idealized magazine version.

Whether you're building from scratch, adding an extension, or doing a full renovation, we'll work with you to create something that makes sense for your lifestyle and your budget. We're big on natural light, smart layouts, and materials that'll stand the test of time.

• Single-family homes & multi-unit residences
• Home additions & renovations
• Laneway houses & accessory dwellings
• Energy-efficient design integration

Commercial projects are a different beast altogether. You need spaces that work hard - attracting customers, keeping employees happy, and representing your brand without saying a word. We've done everything from boutique retail to office complexes, and the common thread? Function first, style second, but you get both.

We understand the numbers matter here - construction timelines, rental rates per square foot, traffic flow, all that practical stuff. Our designs balance your business needs with creating an environment people actually want to be in.

• Office buildings & corporate headquarters
• Retail & hospitality spaces
• Mixed-use developments
• Adaptive reuse projects

Sustainability isn't just a buzzword for us - it's literally in our DNA as a firm. Every project we touch gets the green treatment because honestly, why wouldn't you want lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint?

We're talking real, practical solutions here. Solar orientation that uses the sun's path to your advantage. Insulation that actually works through Canadian winters. Materials sourced locally when possible. Rainwater harvesting. Green roofs. The works. And yeah, it can cost a bit more upfront, but we'll show you the payback period - usually it's way shorter than you'd think.

• LEED & Green building certifications
• Passive house design principles
• Net-zero energy building strategies
• Renewable energy integration

Here's something we've learned - you can have the coolest building exterior in Toronto, but if the interior doesn't flow right, nobody's gonna be happy. Space planning is where we figure out how rooms relate to each other, where the light falls throughout the day, and how people actually move through a space.

We're obsessive about the details - door swings, furniture clearances, sight lines, acoustics. It's part art, part science, and a whole lot of experience knowing what works and what doesn't. Whether we're doing the full architectural package or you just need help reimagining your existing space, we've got you covered.

• Space optimization & flow analysis
• Custom furniture & built-in design
• Material & finish selections
• Lighting design & environmental controls

Drawing the building is one thing - getting it built right is a whole other challenge. We offer construction management so there's continuity between what we designed and what actually gets built. Too many times we've seen great designs get messed up during construction because nobody was paying attention to the details.

We coordinate with contractors, handle the inevitable issues that pop up, review shop drawings, do site visits, and generally make sure your investment is protected. Think of us as your advocate on the job site - we know what to look for and we're not afraid to call out work that doesn't meet spec.

• Contractor selection & bidding process
• Schedule & budget oversight
• Quality control & site inspections
• Problem-solving & change order management

Sometimes the challenge isn't just the building itself, it's how it fits into the neighborhood, the city's vision, and all those zoning regulations that can make your head spin. We work with developers, municipalities, and community groups to help shape projects that make sense on a larger scale.

Toronto's growing fast, and smart urban planning means creating neighborhoods where people actually want to live and work. We look at density, transit access, green space, walkability - all that stuff that separates great communities from just another development. And yeah, we know how to deal with city planning departments and community consultations.

• Zoning & municipal approvals
• Neighborhood development strategies
• Site feasibility studies
• Community engagement & presentations
