Look, we're not gonna throw fancy jargon at you. We restore old buildings that deserve better, design homes people actually wanna live in, and help cities grow without losing their soul. Been doing this for years, and we've learned a thing or two about what works.
Each project's different, honestly. But here's the stuff we're really good at – click on any service to see what it actually involves.
Bringing century-old structures back to life while keeping their character intact.

We've spent years building relationships with craftspeople who still know how to work with lime mortar and hand-cut timber. It makes a difference.
Custom homes that don't cost a fortune to heat and actually fit how you live.
Click to expandWe're tired of seeing cookie-cutter designs. Your home should work for YOU – whether that's a multi-gen family setup, a work-from-home office that doesn't feel cramped, or just smart use of Vancouver's tricky lot sizes.
BC's climate is perfect for sustainable design if you know what you're doing. We've got the data and experience to prove it works.
Spaces where people actually want to work, shop, or grab a coffee.
Click to expandCommercial projects are tricky – gotta balance aesthetics, functionality, budgets, and about a million regulations. We've done everything from boutique retail to mixed-use developments.
We get it – time is money in commercial projects. We keep things moving without cutting corners.
Helping cities grow without destroying what made them special in the first place.
Click to expandVancouver's growing fast, and not all of it's been pretty. We work with developers and municipalities to create neighborhoods that people actually like living in – mixed-use, walkable, with some green space.
We've seen what works and what doesn't. Our advice comes from real projects, not just theory.
Navigating LEED, Passive House, and whatever else you need for incentives or peace of mind.
Click to expandCertifications can be a pain – tons of documentation, specific requirements, deadlines. But they're worth it if you're after grants, higher property values, or just wanna prove you're doing it right.
We've shepherded projects through the whole process. We know which battles to fight and which hoops you just gotta jump through.
Research, documentation, and advocacy for buildings that tell our city's story.
Click to expandNot every old building deserves to be saved, but a lot more do than you'd think. We help figure out what's significant, document it properly, and make the case for preservation when needed.
We've worked with the City of Vancouver and various heritage committees enough times to know the process inside and out.
Honestly, most people aren't when they first reach out. That's totally fine. Give us a call or shoot us an email – we'll chat through your project and figure out what makes sense. No pressure, no sales pitch.
Coffee, site visit, or video call – whatever works. We listen more than we talk at this stage.
We dig into site constraints, regulations, and start sketching ideas. You'll see rough concepts pretty quick.
Refining the design based on your feedback. This is where it really starts coming together.
All the technical drawings and specs. Then we help navigate permits and contractor selection.
Timeline varies by project – usually 3-6 months for design, plus however long construction takes. We stay involved through the build if you want us to.
