What We Actually Do

Look, we're not gonna sugarcoat it - designing buildings is complex work. But over the years, we've honed our craft to cover pretty much everything you'd need to bring a vision from napkin sketch to standing structure. Each service we offer comes from real projects we've sweated over, learned from, and honestly... sometimes failed at before getting it right.

Residential Design & Planning

From $15,000

Here's the deal - your home shouldn't look like everyone else's cookie-cutter box. We work with folks who want spaces that feel like them, whether that's a moody gothic revival or something sleek with darker contemporary edges. We'll handle everything from initial concepts through to construction docs, making sure the local building folks don't give us grief.

  • Initial consultation & site analysis
  • Conceptual design sketches
  • Detailed floor plans & elevations
  • Material & finish specifications
  • Building permit assistance
  • Contractor coordination

Commercial Architecture

From $35,000

Commercial projects are a different beast entirely. You've got zoning headaches, accessibility codes, and stakeholders with conflicting visions. We've been through it enough times to navigate that mess while still delivering something that stands out. Restaurants, boutique hotels, office spaces - we approach each one like it needs to tell a story, not just meet square footage requirements.

  • Feasibility studies & site evaluation
  • Code compliance review
  • Schematic design development
  • Construction documentation
  • Bidding & negotiation support
  • Construction administration
Heritage Building

Heritage Building Restoration

Custom Quote Required

This one's personal for us. There's something about bringing old buildings back to life that gets us fired up. Vancouver's got some incredible heritage structures that deserve way better than demolition. We work with heritage committees, navigate the bureaucratic maze, and figure out how to preserve what matters while making these buildings functional for today. It's painstaking work, but damn if it isn't rewarding.

  • Historical research & documentation
  • Structural assessment & repair plans
  • Heritage permit applications
  • Material matching & sourcing
  • Adaptive reuse strategies
  • Ongoing restoration oversight

Sustainable Design Consulting

Starting at $8,500

Sustainability isn't just a trendy add-on anymore - it's kinda essential. We help figure out passive solar strategies, material choices that won't wreck the planet, and energy systems that actually make sense for BC's climate. No greenwashing here, just practical solutions that work.

  • Energy modeling & analysis
  • LEED certification support
  • Passive design strategies
  • Sustainable material selection
  • Water conservation planning

3D Visualization & Rendering

From $2,500 per render set

Sometimes blueprints just don't cut it. We create photorealistic renderings that let you (and your investors, neighbors, or permit approvers) actually see what we're talking about. Interior shots, exterior views, atmospheric lighting - whatever helps sell the vision before a single brick gets laid.

  • Photorealistic exterior renders
  • Interior visualization
  • Virtual walkthroughs
  • Material & lighting studies
  • Animation sequences

Urban Planning & Development

Custom Quote Required

Big picture stuff. When you're looking at entire neighborhoods or multi-phase developments, you need someone who understands how buildings interact with each other and the city around them. We help developers and municipalities create cohesive plans that respect context while pushing design forward.

  • Master planning services
  • Zoning & land use analysis
  • Community engagement
  • Development feasibility studies
  • Public realm design

How We Work Together

No two projects follow the exact same path, but here's generally how things unfold when we team up:

1
Discovery

We grab coffee, talk about what you're after, walk the site, and figure out if we're a good fit

2
Concept Phase

Sketches, mood boards, rough models - we explore different directions before committing

3
Development

Getting into the details - plans, elevations, specs, and all the technical stuff that makes it real

4
Realization

Construction phase where we make sure builders are following the vision and solve issues as they pop up

Consultation

Let's Talk About Your Project

Honestly, the best way to figure out what you need is just to chat. Every project's different, and trying to squeeze everything into predetermined packages never works out well. We offer free initial consultations where we can discuss your goals, budget realities, and timeline without any pressure.

Whether you've got detailed plans already or just a vague idea you've been mulling over, we're happy to see if we can help make it happen.

Quick Response Time

We typically get back to inquiries within 24 hours on weekdays. If you need something urgent, just mention it in your message.
