Look, we've been doing this for over a decade in Vancouver, and honestly? Most clients come to us frustrated. They've talked to architects who speak in jargon and design for awards, not for actual living.
We're different. Yeah, we love contemporary design and sustainable materials, but we're way more interested in how you'll actually use your space. Whether it's a house that flows with your morning routine or a commercial building where your team actually wants to work.
Plus, we've learned the hard way that Vancouver's weather isn't messing around - your building needs to handle rain, lots of it, while still feeling bright and welcoming inside.
More About UsSix core services, all focused on making buildings that work
Custom homes that fit your life, not the other way around. We've designed everything from laneway houses to waterfront estates across Metro Vancouver.
Offices, retail spaces, mixed-use developments - we make sure your investment actually pays off with smart, functional design.
Got a weird layout? Awkward corners? We're kinda obsessed with making every square foot earn its keep, especially with Vancouver's prices.
Eco-friendly doesn't have to mean expensive or boring. We'll show you where green tech actually makes sense and saves you money.
Vancouver's got some gorgeous old buildings. We help preserve their character while bringing them up to code and modern standards.
Big picture stuff - working with developers and communities to create neighborhoods that actually function well together.
Real talk from a client:
"They actually listened when I said I hate formal dining rooms. Now I've got the kitchen-living space I wanted, and it's where we spend 90% of our time."
First meeting's pretty casual. We grab coffee, check out your site if you've got one, and just talk about what you're after. No pressure, no fees for this initial chat.
If we're a good fit, we dive deeper. Site analysis, zoning research, budget reality check - all the stuff that matters before we sketch a single line.
We'll show you concepts, you'll give feedback, we'll refine. Usually takes 2-3 rounds before we nail it. Some clients know exactly what they want, others discover it as we go.
The paperwork phase. Not glamorous, but we handle all the technical drawings and permit applications. Vancouver's permitting can be tricky, but we know the system.
We don't disappear once construction starts. Regular site visits, contractor coordination, problem-solving when surprises pop up (they always do).
Just a few examples of what we've been working on lately
Complete rebuild for a growing family who wanted light, space, and a killer kitchen
Tech startup headquarters in a heritage building
Small footprint, zero energy bills

500 sq ft that feels like 1000
Whether you've got detailed plans or just a rough idea, let's talk. We've got time this week for a quick call or coffee meeting downtown.
