What We Do Best

Homes should feel like they belong - to you, to the site, to the neighborhood. We've designed everything from compact urban infills to sprawling family estates, and honestly, the best part is watching clients realize their space can work way better than they imagined.

What's included:

• Custom single-family home design
• Multi-unit residential developments
• Renovations and additions that actually make sense
• Energy modeling and passive design strategies
• Municipal approvals and permit support

We typically work on projects ranging from $500K to $5M+ in construction value, though we're flexible for the right fit.

Commercial work's where we get to push boundaries a bit more. We've done office buildings, retail spaces, mixed-use developments - projects where the bottom line matters but so does creating something people actually want to spend time in.

Our expertise covers:

• Office and coworking environments
• Retail and hospitality spaces
• Mixed-use developments (our favorite)
• Adaptive reuse for commercial purposes
• LEED certification and green building strategies
• Tenant improvement and build-out coordination

We bring a user-first approach that balances operational efficiency with genuine placemaking - because good design pays for itself.

This is where the firm really shines, honestly. Old buildings have stories, and there's something special about helping them tell those stories for another century or two. We've worked on everything from Victorian rowhouses to mid-century institutional buildings.

Services we provide:

• Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA)
• Detailed historical research and documentation
• Conservation plans and restoration strategies
• Working with heritage authorities and approval boards
• Sympathetic additions and interventions
• Material analysis and traditional craft coordination

We've navigated dozens of heritage approvals in Toronto and across Ontario - we know the process inside out and can keep things moving.

Sometimes you don't need a full design team - just someone who can help you figure out how to make your project more sustainable without blowing the budget. We've consulted on projects ranging from tiny homes to large developments.

Consulting services:

• Energy performance modeling and analysis
• Passive House design consultation
• Material selection and lifecycle assessment
• Green building certification support (LEED, Net Zero)
• Renewable energy integration planning
• Climate adaptation and resilience strategies

We can jump in at any stage - concept, design development, or even during construction when things need course-correcting.

Cities are always changing, and we try to make sure they change thoughtfully. We work with developers, municipalities, and community groups to shape neighborhoods that work for people who live there - not just look good in renderings.

Planning services include:

• Master planning for residential & mixed-use sites
• Zoning analysis and variance applications
• Site planning and development feasibility studies
• Public realm design and streetscape improvements
• Community engagement and consultation
• Municipal liaison and approval coordination

We've navigated Toronto's complex planning environment for years - we can help you understand what's actually possible on your site.

The shell's just the start - how you organize what's inside makes or breaks the experience. We look at flow, light, function, and yes, the feel of a space. It's part science, part intuition from doing this for a while.

What we offer:

• Comprehensive space programming and adjacency studies
• Furniture layouts and circulation planning
• Material palettes and finish selection
• Custom millwork and built-in design
• Lighting design and daylighting optimization
• Coordination with interior designers and contractors

We approach interiors from an architectural perspective - thinking about structure, systems, and sustainability alongside aesthetics.
