Building with the North,
not against it

We've spent 15+ years figuring out what actually works when you're designing for Canadian winters, coastal rains, and everything in between.

What we do best

Six core services that cover pretty much everything you'll need when building or renovating in our northern climate.

Residential Design & Planning

Your home's gotta handle -30C winters and keep your heating bills reasonable. We've been designing houses that do both for over a decade.

Commercial Architecture

Retail spaces, offices, industrial - whatever you're building needs to work year-round and actually make economic sense in our climate.

Sustainable Building Solutions

Not just slapping solar panels on the roof. Real sustainability means designing for longevity, efficiency, and minimal environmental impact from day one.

Heritage Building Restoration

Old buildings have character, but they weren't built with modern standards in mind. We update them while keeping what makes 'em special.

Urban Planning Consultation

Sometimes you need someone who gets how zoning, bylaws, and city planning work. We've navigated these waters more times than we can count.

Energy-Efficient Design

Canadian energy costs aren't getting cheaper. We design spaces that stay comfortable while keeping your utility bills from going through the roof.

Recent project: Whistler Mountain Residence

A 4,200 sq ft family home that handles heavy snowfall, extreme temperature swings, and still manages to be net-zero energy. Took us 18 months from concept to completion.

The clients wanted something modern but warm, efficient but not sterile. We used locally-sourced timber, triple-glazed windows, and a geothermal system that works even when it's -25C outside. The roof's designed to shed snow naturally without massive heating cables.

Why work with us?

Honestly? Because we've made all the mistakes already so you don't have to.

We're climate-focused, not trend-focused

That Instagram-worthy all-glass house? Terrible idea for Canadian winters. We design what actually works for where you're building.

Local knowledge matters

We know BC building codes, Vancouver permitting processes, and which materials hold up against coastal moisture. That's not something you Google.

Sustainability that's practical

We're all for green building, but it's gotta make sense financially and functionally. No point designing something "sustainable" if it falls apart in 10 years.

We actually return your calls

Sounds basic, but you'd be surprised. We keep clients in the loop, explain things in plain language, and don't disappear when problems come up.
