We've spent years figuring out how to make buildings that don't just look good but actually work with the environment instead of against it. Here's the full rundown of what we offer.
Businesses need spaces that actually support what they do - shops that draw customers in, offices where people want to work, restaurants with flow that makes sense. We design commercial spaces that balance aesthetics with function and your bottom line. Energy costs matter when you're running a business, so we build that efficiency in from day one.
Already got an architect but want to make your project greener? We can jump in as consultants. We'll help you navigate LEED certification, pick materials that make sense environmentally and financially, optimize energy systems, and basically make sure you're not greenwashing. We've consulted on projects from residential to institutional, and yeah, we'll tell you when something's not worth the premium you'd pay.
Old buildings have character that new construction can't replicate, but they've also got challenges - outdated systems, inefficient envelopes, layouts that don't match modern needs. We specialize in bringing heritage structures into the 21st century while respecting what made them special in the first place. It's a balancing act between preservation boards, building codes, and making sure the place is actually livable or usable.
Cities are living organisms, and we think about how individual projects fit into the bigger picture. We work with developers, municipalities, and community groups on everything from site planning to neighborhood revitalization. Mixed-use developments, transit-oriented design, public spaces that people actually use - that's our jam. Good urban planning makes cities more walkable, sustainable, and just plain better to live in.
Every project's different, but here's the general flow. We're pretty flexible though - not everything fits a neat timeline.
We sit down and actually listen. What do you need? What's the budget? What keeps you up at night about this project? Site analysis happens here too.
We sketch, model, and iterate. You'll see options - usually 2-3 different directions. This is where the big ideas get sorted out before we commit.
The nitty-gritty. Detailed drawings, material specs, engineering coordination, permit applications. Less glamorous but absolutely critical phase.
Construction oversight, site visits, answering contractor questions, making sure what gets built matches what we designed. We're involved till the end.
Let's talk about it. First consultation's on us - we'll figure out if we're a good fit and what your project actually needs.
