Forging Modern Spaces with Ancient Wisdom
We're not just drawing lines on paper—we're crafting spaces that actually work for how people live today, while respecting what came before us.

Since 2012
Based in Vancouver, we've spent over a decade figuring out how to make buildings that don't just look good in renders but actually improve the way folks live and work. There's this balance between pushing forward with new ideas and honoring what's already there—that's where we do our best thinking.
Whether it's a family home that needs to fit how you actually move through your day, or bringing an old building back to life with modern performance, we're all about designs that make sense for the long haul.
More About UsEvery project's different, but these are the areas where we've really honed our approach over the years.
Homes that fit your life, not the other way around. We listen to how you actually live, then design spaces that work with your rhythms and routines.
Workspaces that boost productivity without feeling sterile. We've learned that people do their best work in places that feel human.
Real sustainability means buildings that perform well for decades. We focus on passive strategies and materials that won't end up in a landfill.
Old buildings have stories worth preserving. We bring historical structures up to modern standards while keeping their character intact.
Cities work best when they're designed around people. We help shape neighborhoods that encourage walking, community, and actual human interaction.
The inside matters just as much as the outside. We create interiors that flow naturally and feel right, not like they came from a catalog.
Whether you've got detailed plans or just a rough idea, let's sit down and figure out what makes sense for your project. No pressure, no sales pitch—just a real conversation about what you're trying to build.

Where work doesn't feel like work
There's this tension in architecture between innovation and tradition, and honestly, that's where things get interesting. We're not trying to build sci-fi pods, but we're also not stuck in the past. The best buildings we've done are the ones that feel timeless—they work with the land, the climate, and how people actually move through space.
Sustainability isn't just a checkbox for us. It's about understanding materials, orientation, airflow—the basics that architects knew a hundred years ago but somehow got lost along the way. We're bringing that wisdom back while using today's tech to make buildings perform better than ever.
