Contemporary Architecture

Forging Monumental Spaces
with Mystical Precision

We don't just draw lines on paper—we craft spaces that'll outlive us all, blending contemporary vision with the kind of attention to detail that borders on obsessive.

Design Process

We've Been at This for a While

Based in Vancouver, we've spent years figuring out how to make commercial and institutional buildings that actually work for the people using them. Not just pretty facades—though we're pretty good at those too.

Look, architecture's changed a lot. What worked ten years ago doesn't cut it anymore. Buildings need to be smarter, greener, and honestly just more human. We've adapted, learned some hard lessons, and now we're bringing all that experience to every project. Whether it's a new office tower or breathing life back into a heritage structure, we treat it like it matters—because it does.

More About Us

What We Actually Do

Six core services that we've honed over countless projects. No fluff, just solid architectural work that stands the test of time.

Commercial Building Design

From retail spaces to corporate headquarters, we've done it all. Each project gets the same obsessive attention—because your building's gonna be around for decades.

Institutional Architecture

Schools, hospitals, public buildings—spaces where function absolutely can't take a backseat to form. We balance both without compromise.

Urban Planning & Development

Individual buildings are great, but how they fit into the bigger picture? That's where things get interesting. We think beyond the lot lines.

Sustainable Design Consulting

Sustainability isn't optional anymore. We help you navigate LEED, Passive House, and all the other certifications while keeping costs realistic.

Heritage Building Restoration

Old buildings have stories worth preserving. We've spent years learning how to update them for modern use without losing what made them special.

3D Visualization & Modeling

Sometimes you need to see it to believe it. Our visualization work helps everyone get on the same page before the first shovel hits dirt.

Recent Projects That Keep Us Up at Night
(in a good way)

Every project teaches us something new. These recent ones? They pushed us in ways we didn't expect, and we're better for it.

From a 12-story commercial complex in downtown Vancouver that had to navigate some seriously tricky zoning requirements, to a heritage library restoration where we spent months just understanding the original construction techniques—each project's been its own journey. We've learned to expect the unexpected and roll with it.
