What We Do

Honestly, we've spent years figuring out how to make spaces that don't just look good but actually work for real people. Here's what we're bringing to the table.

Residential Architecture

Residential Architecture

Look, designing homes isn't about copying what's trendy on Instagram. We sit down with families and figure out how they actually live - where the kids throw their backpacks, how grandma likes her morning coffee spot, all that real-life stuff.

Been doing custom homes and renovations around Vancouver for years now, and honestly, the best projects happen when clients tell us their weird requirements. One guy wanted his garage to fit a boat AND have a pizza oven. We made it work.

  • Custom home design that fits your lifestyle
  • Renovations that don't feel like an afterthought
  • Multi-family residential projects
Commercial Design

Commercial Design

Commercial spaces are tricky 'cause they gotta work on multiple levels - impress clients, keep employees happy, and not break the bank on maintenance. We've done everything from boutique retail to office spaces that don't make people want to work from home.

The retail landscape's changed a ton in the past few years. Now it's about creating experiences, not just display shelves. Office spaces? Everyone wants that collaborative vibe without losing focus zones. We get it.

  • Retail & restaurant concepts
  • Office spaces people actually enjoy
  • Mixed-use developments
Interior Space Planning

Interior Space Planning

Ever walk into a room and just feel like something's off? That's usually a space planning issue. We obsess over flow, sightlines, and making sure you're not bumping into furniture every time you walk through.

It's kinda like Tetris but with real-world consequences. Gotta think about natural light, traffic patterns, where people naturally congregate. Plus, we coordinate with contractors so what looks good on paper actually works when it's built.

  • Spatial layout optimization
  • Furniture & fixture coordination
  • Lighting design integration
Sustainable Building Solutions

Sustainable Building Solutions

Okay, so sustainability isn't just about slapping some solar panels on the roof and calling it a day. It's about smart material choices, passive heating and cooling, and building stuff that'll last without costing a fortune to maintain.

Vancouver's got pretty specific climate challenges - all that rain, y'know? We've learned what actually works here versus what just looks good in a magazine. Energy efficiency saves money long-term, and that usually convinces even the skeptics.

  • Energy-efficient design strategies
  • Green building certifications
  • Material selection & lifecycle planning
3D Visualization

3D Visualization & Rendering

Here's the thing - not everyone can read architectural drawings. Hell, sometimes even we have to squint at our own plans. That's where 3D rendering comes in clutch. You get to actually see what you're getting before a single nail's hammered.

We use it internally too, to catch issues before they become expensive mistakes. Plus, it's way easier to get buy-in from stakeholders when they can virtually walk through the space. Changed the game for client presentations, honestly.

  • Photorealistic exterior & interior renders
  • Virtual walkthroughs & animations
  • Material & lighting studies
Construction Administration

Construction Administration

Drawing up plans is one thing, but making sure they're actually built right? That's where construction admin comes in. We're on-site regularly, answering contractor questions, reviewing submittals, and catching stuff that inevitably comes up.

Construction's messy and unpredictable - you open up a wall and who knows what you'll find. Having someone who knows the design intent and can make quick decisions saves time and money. We've seen too many projects go sideways without proper oversight.

  • Site visits & progress reviews
  • Contractor coordination & RFI responses
  • Quality control & punch list management

How We Usually Work

Every project's different, but here's the general flow. Sometimes steps overlap, sometimes we loop back - it's not always linear, but we'll keep you in the loop throughout.

01

Initial Chat

We meet, you tell us what you're thinking, we ask a bunch of questions. Figure out budget, timeline, and if we're vibing.

02

Design Phase

Sketches, revisions, more revisions. We'll present options, refine based on your feedback, and develop the final design.

03

Documentation

All the technical drawings, specs, and details contractors need. Plus dealing with permits and approvals.

04

Bidding

Help you find contractors, review bids, and make sure everyone's on the same page about what's included.

05

Construction

Site visits, answering questions, reviewing work, and making sure what gets built matches what we designed.

06

Completion

Final walkthrough, punch list items, and making sure you're happy with everything before we call it done.
