What We Actually Do

Look, we've been in this game long enough to know that every project's different. Here's how we help bring your vision to life - no cookie-cutter approaches, just real work tailored to what you need.

Residential Design & Planning

Residential Design

Whether it's a new build from scratch or renovating what you've got, we'll work with you to create spaces that actually fit how you live. We've done everything from compact urban homes to sprawling estates, and honestly? The smaller projects can be just as exciting.

  • Custom home design
  • Multi-family housing
  • Renovations & additions

Commercial Architecture

Commercial Architecture

Your business needs a space that works hard - we get that. From retail spots to office complexes, we design commercial spaces that balance function with aesthetics. Plus, we know the zoning headaches in Vancouver like the back of our hands.

  • Retail & hospitality
  • Office buildings
  • Mixed-use developments

Interior Space Planning

Interior Planning

Sometimes the exterior's fine but the inside just doesn't flow right. We'll reconfigure your space to make it work better - better light, better circulation, better use of every square foot. It's like solving a puzzle, and we're kinda nerdy about it.

  • Layout optimization
  • Space flow analysis
  • Furniture & fixture planning

Sustainable Building Consultation

Sustainable Building

Green building isn't just a trend anymore - it's smart business and the right thing to do. We'll help you navigate certifications, material choices, and energy systems. And yeah, sustainable doesn't have to mean boring or expensive when you do it right.

  • LEED certification support
  • Energy modeling
  • Material sustainability

Project Management & Construction Oversight

Project Management

Design's only half the battle - execution's where things can go sideways fast. We stick around to make sure what gets built matches what we drew up. Think of us as your advocate on site, keeping contractors honest and timelines realistic.

  • Site supervision
  • Quality control
  • Budget tracking

Heritage Building Restoration

Heritage Restoration

Vancouver's got some beautiful old buildings that deserve respect. We specialize in bringing historic structures into the 21st century while keeping their character intact. It's delicate work, requires patience, but man, the results are worth it.

  • Heritage assessments
  • Adaptive reuse
  • Period-appropriate detailing

How We Work Together

Here's the reality - every project's a journey, and we've learned a thing or two about making that journey smoother. Here's typically how things unfold:

01. First Conversation

We grab a coffee (virtual or real) and you tell us what's on your mind. No pressure, no sales pitch - just honest talk about what you're trying to achieve and whether we're the right fit.

02. Discovery & Site Analysis

We dig into the details - visit the site, understand the context, look at regulations, figure out constraints. This phase saves headaches later, trust me.

03. Concept Development

Here's where it gets fun. We sketch, model, and explore different directions. You'll see options, we'll have discussions, and the vision starts taking shape. Usually takes a few iterations to nail it.

04. Design Development

We get into the nitty-gritty - materials, systems, dimensions, all the stuff that makes it real. This is where engineers join the party and we make sure everything actually works.

05. Permitting & Documentation

The paperwork phase - not glamorous but crucial. We handle the city applications, create construction drawings, and get all the approvals lined up. Vancouver's permit process can be... challenging, but we know the ropes.

06. Construction & Completion

Boots on the ground time. We're on site regularly, answering questions, solving problems, making sure it's being built right. Then comes the rewarding part - seeing you move into a space that actually works.

Consultation

First consultation's on us - no commitment, no hard sell. We'll chat about what you're thinking, give you our honest take on feasibility and approach. Even if we don't end up working together, you'll walk away with some useful insights.
