Over the years, we've had the privilege of working with some really great clients on projects that pushed us creatively. Each building tells its own story, and honestly, that's what keeps us excited about what we do.
This project was all about pushing passive house standards while keeping things beautiful. The clients wanted net-zero energy consumption without sacrificing the open, airy feel they love. We used triple-glazed windows and some clever thermal mass strategies that actually work.
Net-zero energy home that doesn't compromise on style or comfort. This one was a real learning experience for all of us.

A co-working space that's actually inspiring. We focused on natural light, flexible layouts, and bringing the outdoors in through green walls.

The brief was simple - create a workspace that people actually want to show up to. We stripped back a 1920s warehouse, kept the character, and inserted modern interventions that feel like they've always been there. The result is a space where tech startups and creatives can thrive.
Bringing new life to a Victorian-era warehouse while respecting its history.
Working with heritage buildings means tons of red tape and restrictions, but it also means you get to preserve something meaningful. We converted this 1880s warehouse into 16 residential units while keeping all the original timber beams and brick walls. The city heritage committee loved it.
Sometimes the best architecture is about knowing what to keep and what to change. This restoration project taught us patience.

Laneway houses are having a moment in Toronto, and this one shows why. Compact, efficient, and way more interesting than your typical laneway build. We maxed out the square footage but kept it from feeling cramped with double-height spaces and a killer rooftop deck.
When you're working with less than 900 square feet, every decision matters. We used vertical space creatively, brought in natural light from three sides, and picked materials that would age well. The owners say it feels twice as big as it actually is - that's the goal.
This was a big one - reimagining three city blocks for mixed-use development. We had to balance density with livability, and honestly, community input shaped this more than our initial concepts. The result is a plan that adds housing without losing the neighborhood's character.
Urban planning is about people, not just buildings. This project involved months of community consultations and revisions. Worth it.
Currently in development phase
Public buildings should be welcoming, and that starts with the architecture. This community center uses lots of glass to feel transparent and open, plus we incorporated a green roof that's become a neighborhood gathering spot.
The city wanted a building that would serve multiple generations and purposes. We designed flexible spaces that can shift from yoga classes to town halls to kids' programs. The green roof isn't just for show - it manages stormwater and provides outdoor programming space. Real sustainable design is about function as much as aesthetics.
Complete transformation from dated diner to contemporary bistro
Restaurant design is tricky - it needs to look good but also function under pressure during dinner rush. We reconfigured the whole layout to improve flow, added acoustic treatments so it's not deafening when busy, and created distinct zones that still feel connected. The owners say they're seating 30% more covers with the new layout.
Restaurant interiors where form actually meets function.

Building in a protected forest area meant we had to tread lightly - literally. We elevated the structure on piers to minimize site disturbance, used locally-sourced timber, and oriented everything to capture views without clearing trees. It's off-grid but doesn't feel rustic or compromised. Solar + battery storage means the owners aren't missing any modern comforts.
Sometimes the best design move is getting out of nature's way. This off-grid retreat sits lightly on the land while providing year-round comfort.
