The Details (This is Where It Gets Real)

Your Home, Your Way

Here's the thing - we've designed everything from tiny urban infills to sprawling family estates. What we've learned? It's not about square footage or trendy finishes. It's about how you actually live.

We'll sit down with you (coffee's on us) and figure out what really matters. Maybe you cook big Sunday dinners, or need a quiet home office, or want your kids to have space to grow. We take all that real-life stuff and turn it into spaces that just... work.

  • Custom home design from ground up
  • Renovation & addition planning
  • Site analysis and feasibility studies
  • Permit coordination (yeah, we deal with that)

Spaces That Mean Business

Commercial projects are a different beast altogether. We've done restaurants where the kitchen flow can make or break you, offices where people actually want to show up, retail spaces that draw customers in without feeling pushy.

The secret? Understanding that your space is working for you 24/7. Every square foot needs to earn its keep, whether that's through productivity, customer experience, or just not driving your staff crazy.

  • Office & workspace design
  • Retail & hospitality architecture
  • Mixed-use developments
  • Accessibility compliance (non-negotiable)
Commercial Architecture

Making Sense of What You've Got

Sometimes you don't need a whole new building - you just need someone to look at your existing space with fresh eyes. We're pretty good at seeing potential where others see problems.

That awkward corner? Could be a reading nook. The weird hallway? Might become the coolest part of your place. We've reworked countless interiors, and honestly, the constraints often lead to the most creative solutions.

  • Space optimization & flow analysis
  • Furniture layouts that actually work
  • Lighting design (it's everything, trust us)
  • Material selection & finishes

Building for the Long Haul

Okay, real talk - sustainable design isn't just about being trendy or getting LEED points (though we can help with that too). It's about creating buildings that don't cost a fortune to heat, cool, or maintain.

We've seen too many "green" projects that looked good on paper but were nightmares to live in. Our approach? Passive design first, then add tech where it makes sense. Good orientation, proper insulation, natural light - the basics that actually work.

  • Energy-efficient design strategies
  • Passive solar & natural ventilation
  • Sustainable material sourcing
  • LEED & green building certification

We'll Handle the Headaches

Let's be honest - construction can be a mess. Contractors who don't show up, materials that arrive late, costs that creep up... we've seen it all. That's why a lot of clients just want us to manage the whole thing.

We speak contractor, we know the building codes, and we're not afraid to push back when something isn't right. Think of us as your advocate who actually knows what they're looking at when they walk the site.

  • Full construction administration
  • Contractor coordination & oversight
  • Budget management & cost control
  • Quality assurance & site inspections

Respecting What Came Before

This one's close to our hearts. Toronto's full of beautiful old buildings that deserve better than being torn down or butchered with bad renovations. Heritage work is tricky - you're balancing history, modern building codes, and the reality of how people need to use the space today.

We've restored Victorian homes, converted old factories, and brought century-old commercial buildings back to life. It takes patience, research, and a ton of problem-solving. But when you see the original details shine again? Totally worth it.

  • Heritage designation applications
  • Historical research & documentation
  • Sympathetic additions & updates
  • Adaptive reuse planning

Seeing the Transformation

One of the most satisfying parts of what we do? Showing clients where they started versus where they ended up. The difference isn't just visual - it's about how the space functions, how it feels, how it changes daily life. We've got plenty of before-and-after stories to share, each one a bit different, each one teaching us something new about what's possible.
