We've spent years crafting spaces that don't just look good on paper—they actually work for the people using them and the planet we're all sharing. Here's what we've been up to.
Client wanted a workspace that'd actually make people want to come to the office—yeah, post-pandemic challenge right there. We designed this 45,000 sq ft campus with tons of natural light, outdoor terraces, and flexible spaces that adapt to however teams wanna work that day.

Mississauga, ON
This family was tired of cookie-cutter suburban homes and wanted something that'd actually reflect their values. We built them a 3,200 sq ft passive house that's basically heating itself through smart design—not fancy tech gimmicks.

Burlington, ON
Old warehouse conversion that's now home to retail spaces, offices, and 24 residential units. We kept the original brick and timber—way too good to demolish—and added modern interventions that complement rather than compete.

Toronto, ON
Restaurant group approached us wanting their flagship location to walk the talk on sustainability. We sourced reclaimed materials from demolished buildings across Ontario, installed a composting system, and designed the kitchen for minimal energy waste. Turns out people really dig eating somewhere that gives a damn.

Ottawa, ON
Eight families wanted to live together but, y'know, separately. We designed this co-housing project with individual units surrounding shared community spaces—kitchen, workshop, gardens. It's not a commune, it's just smart living where you can borrow sugar without ordering it on Amazon.

Hamilton, ON
Former church building that was sitting vacant for a decade. Community wanted to save it but make it work as an events space and cultural center. We gutted the interior while respecting the original character—those stained glass windows stayed, obviously—and upgraded everything to modern energy standards.

Kingston, ON
Client wanted a coworking space that didn't feel like every other Instagram-ready spot with neon signs and ping-pong tables. We went with natural materials, acoustic privacy that actually works, and air quality that doesn't make you wanna nap by 2pm. Turns out people can focus better when the design supports actual work.

Kitchener, ON
Family cottage that doesn't scream "cottage" in that kitschy way. They wanted modern comfort without trashing the natural setting. We elevated the structure to minimize site disturbance, used local stone and timber, and designed it to basically disappear into the landscape.
