Bridging Past and Future Through Architectural Excellence
We're not just restoring buildings - we're breathing new life into stories that deserve to be told for generations
We're not just restoring buildings - we're breathing new life into stories that deserve to be told for generations
Look, heritage work isn't easy. There's always that moment when you're standing in a century-old building, thinking about how someone laid those bricks before your grandparents were even born. That's when it hits you - you're holding a piece of someone's legacy in your hands.
We've spent years figuring out how to honor that history while making spaces work for today's world. It's not always straightforward, but honestly? That's what makes it interesting. Every beam, every archway tells a story, and we're here to make sure those stories don't end.
Based here in Vancouver, we've tackled everything from residential projects to commercial spaces. The cool part is how each building teaches you something new about what worked back then - and what still works now.
More About UsSix main areas where we spend most of our time. Each one's got its own challenges, but they all come back to the same thing - creating spaces that'll last.
This is where we started and honestly, it's still what gets us up in the morning. Taking a structure that's seen better days and bringing it back without losing what made it special in the first place.
Your home should work with the environment, not against it. We've learned a ton about energy efficiency over the years - turns out old builders knew more about natural airflow than we give 'em credit for.
Business spaces need to be functional first, but that doesn't mean they gotta be boring. We help figure out how to make commercial properties that people actually want to spend time in.
Cities change - that's just how it goes. But change doesn't have to mean wiping the slate clean. We work with developers to find that sweet spot between progress and preservation.
All the paperwork and technical stuff that proves your building is as sustainable as you say it is. Not glamorous, but it matters if you want those certifications.
Sometimes a building's historical value means extra regulations and documentation. We navigate that whole process so you don't have to become an expert in heritage bylaws.
We've been fortunate enough to work on some really meaningful projects around Vancouver. Each one's got its own challenges - structural issues no one saw coming, original materials that aren't made anymore, modern code requirements that seem impossible to meet in old buildings.
But that's exactly what makes this work worth doing. When you see a building that was falling apart come back to life, and people can use it for another hundred years? That's a good day at the office.

Years of working on heritage buildings means we've seen most problems before. That experience saves time, money, and a lot of headaches.
Your building, your vision, your budget. We're here to make it happen, not tell you what you should want. Communication matters more than fancy renderings.
We incorporate green practices because they make practical sense - lower operating costs, better indoor air quality, reduced environmental impact. It's just smart building.
Being based in Vancouver means we know the local building codes, heritage regulations, and which contractors do solid work. That local connection matters.
Whether you're thinking about restoring a heritage property or planning something new, let's grab a coffee and talk it through. No pressure, just a conversation about what's possible.
