Look, every project's different. We're not gonna give you some cookie-cutter approach because honestly? That's not how good architecture happens. Here's how we actually help our clients build something worth bragging about.
Residential Architecture
Your home shouldn't feel like everyone else's. We design spaces that fit how you actually live—not some magazine fantasy. Whether it's a complete new build or rethinking what you've got, we'll make sure the materials sing and the layout makes sense for your daily routine.
We've done everything from lakeside retreats to urban infills in Toronto's trickiest lots. Stone anchors, steel frames, big windows that don't waste energy. Custom homes that'll still feel right in twenty years.
- Custom home design from scratch
- Additions that don't look tacked-on
- Material selection (we're picky about stone)
- Site analysis and orientation
Commercial Design
Business spaces need to work hard. We design offices, retail spots, and mixed-use buildings that draw people in and keep 'em comfortable. Steel and stone give you that solid, permanent feel—clients notice the difference.
From boutique shops on Queen West to corporate offices that don't feel sterile, we balance brand identity with practical flow. Spaces where people actually want to spend time, not just endure their shift.
- Retail and restaurant concepts
- Office spaces that aren't soul-crushing
- Mixed-use developments
- Accessibility compliance (done right)
Heritage Restoration
Old buildings have bones worth saving. We've worked with century-old stone facades and Victorian structures that just need the right touch. It's about respecting what's there while making it livable for today—not turning it into a museum piece nobody can use.
Toronto's full of beautiful old buildings that got neglected or butchered by previous renos. We work with heritage committees, match historical materials, and integrate modern systems without wrecking the character. It's detective work meets craftsmanship.
- Heritage designation navigation
- Original material matching and sourcing
- Adaptive reuse strategies
- Structural assessments for old buildings
Sustainable Building Solutions
Sustainability isn't just a checkbox—it's about designing buildings that don't cost a fortune to heat and cool. We focus on smart orientation, thermal mass (hello, stone), proper insulation, and systems that actually pay for themselves over time.
We've gotten buildings to net-zero without sacrificing aesthetics. Passive solar design, rainwater harvesting, local materials that cut down on transport emissions. Ontario's climate is tough, so we design for real winter performance, not just summer.
- Energy modeling and passive design
- Material lifecycle analysis
- Green roof and wall systems
- LEED consultation (if that's your thing)
Interior Space Planning
It's the inside that you live with every day. We plan interiors that flow naturally, make the most of light, and use materials that age gracefully. No trendy finishes that'll look dated in three years—just thoughtful layouts and quality materials.
We work closely with you on furniture placement, lighting design, material palettes. Stone counters, steel accents, wood that's actually durable. Everything's coordinated so it feels cohesive, not like you hired five different people.
- Space flow and circulation planning
- Custom millwork and built-ins
- Lighting design (natural and artificial)
- Material and finish selection
Construction Documentation
Here's the unglamorous part that keeps projects from going sideways: detailed drawings and specs. We produce complete construction documents that contractors can actually build from. Clear details, accurate dimensions, no guesswork that costs you money later.
We've been through enough builds to know what causes problems. Our docs include structural coordination, material specs, and those fiddly details around windows and transitions. We stick around during construction too—answering questions beats fixing mistakes.
- Complete working drawings
- Material specifications
- Permit application support
- Construction administration
