What We Actually Do

Look, we've been doing this for a while now, and honestly? We've figured out what works. Here's the real deal on how we turn ideas into spaces people actually want to be in.

Full Service Architecture

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't

We're not gonna throw a bunch of fancy jargon at you. Whether you're building from scratch, renovating something old, or just need someone who gets the vision - we've got your back. Here's how we break it down.

Residential Design

Residential Architecture Design

Your home isn't just four walls and a roof - it's gotta work for how you actually live. We spend time figuring out what you need (not just what looks good on Pinterest), then design something that feels right. Custom homes, renovations, additions... we've done 'em all.

The best part? We're obsessed with making sure your place connects with the outdoors. Big windows, thoughtful layouts, spaces that breathe. That's kinda our thing.

  • Custom home design from concept to completion
  • Renovation and extension planning
  • Site analysis and feasibility studies
  • 3D visualization and walkthroughs
Commercial Planning

Commercial Building Planning

Commercial work is a different beast. You've got budgets, timelines, code requirements, and a business that needs to actually function. We get it. We've designed offices where people don't hate Mondays, retail spaces that flow naturally, and restaurants where the kitchen doesn't become a nightmare.

Our approach? Listen first, design second. Every business is different, and cookie-cutter solutions are boring anyway.

  • Office and workspace design
  • Retail and hospitality architecture
  • Mixed-use development planning
  • Building code compliance and permits
Sustainable Design

Sustainable Design Consulting

Real talk - sustainable design isn't just slapping some solar panels on the roof and calling it a day. It's about smart choices from the ground up. Material selection, passive heating and cooling, energy efficiency that actually saves you money... that's what we're after.

We're not gonna preach at you, but if you want a building that's kinder to the planet and your wallet, we know how to make it happen without sacrificing style.

  • Energy efficiency assessments
  • Green building certifications (LEED, Passive House)
  • Renewable energy integration
  • Sustainable material sourcing

Interior Space Planning

Sometimes the shell is fine, but the inside needs work. We'll figure out how to make your space flow better, feel bigger, and actually work for what you need. It's like puzzle-solving, but with rooms.

Project Management & Construction Admin

Look, construction can get messy. We'll stick around to make sure what gets built actually matches what we designed. Site visits, contractor coordination, problem-solving when things inevitably go sideways - we've got it handled.

Heritage Building Restoration

Old buildings have character, but they also have... issues. We love bringing historic structures back to life while respecting what made them special in the first place. It's delicate work, but totally worth it.

Our Process

How We Work With You

Every project's different, but here's generally how things go down:

1
Initial Chat

We grab coffee (or jump on a call) and you tell us what you're thinking. No pressure, just conversation.

2
Concept Phase

We sketch out ideas, show you some options, and start shaping the vision together.

3
Design Development

Things get detailed. Materials, finishes, systems - we nail down all the specifics.

4
Construction Docs

We create the blueprints and specs that builders need to actually make this thing happen.

5
Building & Beyond

Construction kicks off, and we're there to make sure it all comes together right.

Quick Questions People Always Ask

Save yourself a phone call - here's what everyone wants to know:

Honestly? It depends. Project size, complexity, scope - it all factors in. Residential projects typically run 8-15% of construction costs for full architectural services. Best thing is to just reach out and we'll give you a straight answer based on what you're planning.

Design phase usually takes 2-4 months depending on complexity. Then you've got permits, which... yeah, that's out of our hands and can be unpredictable. Construction timeline varies wildly - small renovation might be 3 months, custom home could be 12-18 months. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.

Yeah, we do projects across Ontario and sometimes beyond if it's the right fit. Travel costs might factor in for projects further out, but we've worked everywhere from cottage country to downtown cores. Location's usually not a dealbreaker.

Absolutely - actually, we insist on it. This is your space, not ours. We'll guide you through decisions, offer our expertise, and keep things moving, but your input is crucial throughout. Some clients want to be super hands-on, others prefer to give feedback at key milestones. Either way works for us.

We're not gonna BS you with corporate speak. We listen more than we talk (at least at first), we're obsessed with connecting spaces to nature, and we actually return phone calls. Plus we've got a thing for making buildings that work as good as they look. No ego, no drama - just solid work.
