Who We Are

Real architects, real projects, real conversations

Our studio

How This All Started

Look, we're not gonna feed you some corporate story about "visionaries" or whatever. Back in 2011, three of us were sitting in a cramped office downtown, frustrated with how disconnected architecture had become from the folks actually living in these spaces.

Started out doing small renos on Queen West - mostly fixing what other studios had overcomplicated. Word spread, projects got bigger, and here we are. We merged with Quintet in 2018 because they had the heritage restoration chops we were lacking, and honestly? Best decision we made.

These days we're a team of 14 - architects, designers, a couple project managers who keep us from missing deadlines, and one very opinionated office cat named Brutus.

Let's Talk About Your Project

What We Actually Do

No jargon, just straight talk about our services

📐

Architectural Design & Planning

From sketches on napkins to full construction docs. We handle permits, zoning headaches, and all that fun stuff so you don't have to.

🏠

Interior Space Optimization

Making rooms actually work for how you live. Not just pretty - functional. We've seen too many beautiful spaces that nobody wants to use.

🌱

Sustainable Building Solutions

Energy-efficient doesn't mean compromising on design. Solar integration, passive heating, materials that'll last decades - it's all part of the package.

🏛️

Heritage Building Restoration

Old buildings have character that you can't fake. We restore them properly - respecting what was there while making them livable for today.

📋

Project Management & Consultation

We'll stick with you through the build. Contractors, timelines, budget adjustments - someone's gotta keep an eye on everything.

🎨

3D Visualization & Rendering

Hard to imagine spaces from floor plans? We create realistic renders so you can "walk through" before any concrete gets poured.

Our Approach

It's pretty straightforward, actually

1
Listen First

We grab coffee, you tell us what's working and what's driving you nuts about your current space. No sales pitch - just conversation.

2
Design Together

We sketch, you react. Iterate until it feels right. Your input matters more than our ego - promise.

3
Handle The Details

Permits, contractors, material sourcing, inspections - we coordinate everything so you can focus on living your life.

4
Stay Connected

Weekly check-ins during construction. Questions at 9pm? Text us. We don't disappear once the contract's signed.

Featured Projects

Each project taught us something new. Some went smoothly, others... well, let's just say we learned the hard way why proper drainage matters. But that's architecture - you adapt, solve problems, and end up with something worth showing off.
