What We Do

Services That Actually Work

We've been doing this long enough to know what matters - real solutions for real spaces. No fluff, just solid architectural work that stands the test of time.

Architectural services

Residential Design

Custom homes that fit how you actually live, not just how they look in magazines.

Commercial Architecture

Spaces that make business sense - functional, attractive, and built for the long haul.

Sustainable Building Solutions

Green design that cuts costs and makes sense, not just trendy eco-labels.

Interior Space Planning

Making every square foot count - layouts that flow naturally and work with your life.

Project Management

Someone's gotta keep things on track - we handle the headaches so you don't have to.

Building Code Consultation

Navigate the regulatory maze without losing your mind or your budget.

Get Into The Details

Residential Design

Look, we've designed enough homes to know that cookie-cutter doesn't cut it. Whether you're building from scratch or reimagining what you've got, we dig into how you actually use your space.

We start with conversations - lots of them. How do you move through your day? Where does life happen? What drives you nuts about your current setup? Then we translate that into designs that make sense for real living.

  • Custom home design from concept to completion
  • Renovations that respect what's there while adding what's needed
  • Additions that feel like they've always been part of the house
  • Site analysis and orientation optimization
  • 3D visualization so you can see it before it's built

Average project timeline: 3-6 months for design, then construction timing varies

Commercial architecture

Commercial Architecture

Commercial projects are a different beast - they've gotta perform on multiple levels. Aesthetics matter, sure, but so does functionality, flow, and frankly, the bottom line.

We've worked with retail spaces, offices, mixed-use developments, and hospitality projects across Toronto. Each one's got its own quirks and requirements, but they all need to balance form with serious function.

  • Office buildings that people actually want to work in
  • Retail spaces designed for customer flow and sales
  • Mixed-use developments that integrate multiple functions
  • Restaurant and hospitality design
  • Accessibility compliance that goes beyond checkboxes

We coordinate with engineers, contractors, and local authorities to keep things moving

Sustainable Building Solutions

Sustainable design isn't just about slapping solar panels on the roof and calling it a day. It's baked into every decision we make - from orientation and materials to systems and long-term maintenance.

The best part? Green building usually saves money over time. Better insulation means lower heating bills. Smart window placement cuts cooling costs. Durable materials mean less replacement. It's practical stuff that happens to be good for the planet too.

  • Passive solar design and natural ventilation strategies
  • Energy-efficient building envelope design
  • Material selection for durability and low environmental impact
  • Rainwater management and water conservation
  • LEED and green building certification support

Interior space planning

Interior Space Planning

Ever walked into a space that just... works? That's not luck - it's careful planning. We map out how spaces connect, where light falls, and how people move through rooms.

Sometimes it's about knocking down walls, sometimes it's about keeping them. We've learned that good space planning often means doing less, not more. It's about clarity and purpose for each area.

  • Functional layout design that maximizes usability
  • Traffic flow analysis and optimization
  • Lighting design integrated with architectural features
  • Storage solutions that don't feel like afterthoughts
  • Furniture layouts and built-in design

Works great as a standalone service or part of a larger project

Project Management

Here's the truth - even the best designs can go sideways during construction if nobody's keeping an eye on things. We stick around through the build to make sure what gets built matches what we designed.

We're not control freaks about it, but we do show up. Site visits, contractor coordination, problem-solving when unexpected stuff comes up (and it always does). Think of us as your advocate who speaks construction fluent.

  • Construction administration and oversight
  • Budget tracking and cost control
  • Schedule management and milestone coordination
  • Contractor and subcontractor liaison
  • Quality control and site inspections
  • Change order review and documentation

Regular site meetings keep everyone on the same page

Building code consultation

Building Code Consultation

Nobody gets excited about building codes, but ignore them and you'll have a mess on your hands. Ontario Building Code, fire safety regulations, accessibility standards - we know this stuff inside out.

We've spent enough time with city planners and building inspectors to know what flies and what doesn't. Rather than designing something cool that'll never get approved, we design within the rules - or know exactly what variances to ask for.

  • Ontario Building Code compliance review
  • Zoning bylaw analysis and variance applications
  • Fire safety and life safety code consultation
  • Accessibility standards implementation
  • Building permit application preparation
  • Committee of Adjustment representation

Toronto-specific expertise with city planning departments

Collaborative process

How We Actually Work

Every project's different, but our approach stays pretty consistent. We listen more than we talk in the beginning, sketch a lot in the middle, and stay involved till the end.

1
Initial Consultation

Coffee, conversation, and figuring out if we're a good fit for each other.

2
Design Development

Sketches, models, revisions - this is where ideas become real possibilities.

3
Documentation & Permits

The less glamorous but totally necessary paperwork phase.

4
Construction Support

We're there when it matters, making sure the build matches the vision.
