Here's a collection of projects we've brought to life over the years. Each one's got its own story, challenges we tackled, and communities we've helped shape. We're pretty proud of what you'll see here.

Location: Vancouver, BC
Year: 2024
Category: Residential / Sustainable
Size: 4,200 sq ft
Duration: 14 months
Certification: Net-Zero Ready
This one was all about proving that sustainable doesn't mean sacrificing comfort. The clients wanted a family home that wouldn't cost a fortune to heat and cool, but they also didn't want to feel like they were living in a sterile showroom.
We incorporated passive solar design, triple-pane windows, and a geothermal system that works so quietly you forget it's there. The exterior's wrapped in locally-sourced cedar that'll age beautifully over time. Inside, we kept spaces flexible - rooms that can adapt as the family grows.
What we're proud of: The energy bills are about 80% lower than a conventional home of this size, and the family says it's the most comfortable house they've ever lived in.
Location: Vancouver, BC
Year: 2023
Category: Commercial / Urban
Size: 45,000 sq ft
Duration: 22 months
Units: Retail + 3 Office Floors
Mixed-use projects can go wrong real fast if you're not careful. This neighborhood needed retail that served locals, not just tourists, plus office space for the creative types who've been priced out of downtown.
We designed the ground floor with flexible retail bays - some small enough for independent shops, others big enough for anchor tenants. The office floors above have huge windows and open layouts, but we included plenty of quiet nooks because not everyone thrives in a wide-open workspace.
The rooftop terrace became this unexpected community gathering spot. We put in planters, some casual seating, and suddenly people from the offices and neighborhood are mixing up there.
What we're proud of: All retail spaces leased within 3 months, and the office floors are at 95% occupancy. More importantly, locals tell us it feels like it's always been part of the neighborhood.
Location: New Westminster, BC
Year: 2023
Category: Heritage Restoration
Original: 1922
Duration: 18 months
Units: 12 Residential Lofts
Heritage work is tricky - you're constantly balancing what needs to be preserved with what needs to work for modern living. This building sat empty for years, and honestly, it was in rough shape when we got the call.
We restored the brick facade brick by brick, kept the original oak floors where we could salvage them, and exposed the timber beams that'd been covered up decades ago. But we also added proper insulation, modern mechanicals, and huge windows where mail sorting rooms used to be.
The biggest challenge was the layout - post offices weren't designed for residential living. We created lofts with character, maintaining the industrial feel while making them actually livable. High ceilings helped a lot.
What we're proud of: Won a heritage conservation award, but more satisfying is seeing residents who genuinely appreciate living in a piece of history.
Location: Richmond, BC
Year: 2024
Category: Commercial / Sustainable
Size: 62,000 sq ft
Duration: 26 months
Certification: LEED Platinum
Tech companies talk a big game about sustainability, so we figured let's actually deliver on that. This building's designed for startups and established tech firms who want their workspace to reflect their values.
Solar panels cover most of the roof, rainwater harvesting handles landscaping and toilets, and the HVAC system's smarter than most people's phones. We used low-VOC materials throughout because nobody's productive when they're breathing questionable air.
The design emphasizes natural light - studies show it boosts productivity and mood, plus it cuts down on electricity use. We added green walls in the central atrium that actually help with air quality, not just Instagram photos.
What we're proud of: Operating costs are 40% below comparable office buildings, and tenant satisfaction surveys are through the roof. Turns out people like working in buildings that don't make them feel guilty.
Location: North Vancouver, BC
Year: 2022
Category: Residential
Units: 18 Townhomes
Duration: 16 months
Size: 1,400-1,800 sq ft each
Vancouver's housing market is brutal, and we wanted to show that density doesn't have to mean compromise. These townhomes pack a lot of living into a modest footprint without feeling cramped.
Smart layouts were key - we eliminated wasted hallway space, used vertical design to create separate zones, and added skylights to bring in natural light where windows weren't possible. Each unit has a small private outdoor space because everyone needs somewhere to sit outside with their morning coffee.
The building materials mix wood, concrete, and metal in a way that feels contemporary but not cold. We also designed in sound insulation that actually works - shared walls are no joke in townhomes.
What we're proud of: Families who moved in say they don't miss their old single-family homes. The community's tight-knit, kids play together in the shared courtyard, and maintenance costs are way lower than detached houses.
