Heritage Restoration Project

We're not your typical architecture firm

For over two decades, we've been bridging the gap between Toronto's rich architectural heritage and the demands of modern sustainable living. It's a balancing act, honestly - but one we've gotten pretty good at.

Look, every building tells a story. Some of 'em have been around since the 1800s, others are just blueprints on our desks. What matters is making sure they work for the people who'll actually use them - not just winning awards or following trends that'll look dated in five years.

We've worked on Victorian mansions that needed serious love, designed commercial spaces that actually make employees happy to show up, and planned urban developments that don't destroy neighborhood character. That's the stuff that keeps us coming back every Monday.

What We Actually Do

Six core areas where we spend most of our time

Residential Architecture

Creating homes that fit how people actually live - not just how magazines think they should. From sprawling family houses to compact urban dwellings that make every square foot count.

Commercial Building Design

Offices, retail spaces, mixed-use developments - places where business happens but people don't feel trapped in a corporate box. Natural light and good airflow aren't luxuries, y'know.

Heritage Building Restoration

This is where we get really nerdy. Bringing century-old structures back to life while meeting modern building codes? Yeah, it's complicated - and we love every minute of it.

Sustainable Design Consulting

Green building isn't just a checkbox anymore. We help clients figure out what sustainability actually means for their project - beyond just slapping some solar panels on the roof.

Urban Planning & Development

Thinking bigger picture - how buildings interact with streets, neighborhoods, and the city as a whole. Good urbanism makes life better for everyone, not just property owners.

Interior Space Planning

Because what's inside matters just as much as the facade. We make spaces flow naturally, maximizing function without sacrificing the stuff that makes a place feel right.

Sustainable Design

Sustainability isn't optional anymore

Climate change is real, building codes are getting stricter, and frankly - clients are asking better questions these days. We've been designing with the environment in mind since before it was trendy.

Every project we take on gets evaluated for energy efficiency, material sustainability, and long-term environmental impact. Sometimes that means geothermal heating. Sometimes it's just about proper insulation and window placement. Whatever makes sense for the budget and the building.

We've learned that the most sustainable building is often the one that already exists - which is why heritage restoration fits so perfectly with our environmental philosophy. Reuse, adapt, improve. That's the motto.
