Not your typical suit-and-tie architecture firm
Look, we didn't start this firm because we wanted corner offices and fancy titles. Back in 2014, three of us were sitting in a cramped coffee shop on Queen Street, sketching building concepts on napkins and complaining about how traditional firms were ignoring sustainability.
Fast forward to now - we've grown into a tight-knit team of 17 architects, designers, and sustainability consultants who actually care about what we're putting into the world. Every project we take on has to pass what we call the "grandkid test" - would we be proud showing this to our grandkids in 50 years?
We're based in Toronto but our work spans across Canada. We've done everything from tiny laneway houses to massive commercial developments, and honestly, we love both equally. There's something special about solving problems with real constraints, whether that's a tight urban lot or strict heritage guidelines.
A decade of learning, building, and occasionally messing up
Three architects, one vision, and way too much caffeine. We landed our first project - a sustainable renovation in Leslieville that taught us more than four years of school ever did.
Took the plunge into commercial architecture. Our first office building in Mississauga became LEED Gold certified and suddenly people started taking us seriously. Who knew?
Moved into our Bay Street office and doubled the team. Started winning awards we didn't even know existed. Still kept the same coffee machine though - priorities.
Like everyone else, we learned to work remotely. But it also pushed us to rethink how we design spaces for living and working. Some of our best residential concepts came from this period.
17 team members, 200+ completed projects, and we're just getting started. Working on our most ambitious sustainable development yet in North York.
We're architects, but we're also parents, cyclists, coffee snobs, and weekend DIY warriors
Principal Architect & Co-Founder
Sarah's the one who keeps us grounded. She started designing sustainable homes before it was trendy and has this uncanny ability to see potential in the weirdest spaces. Outside work, she's restoring a Victorian house in Cabbagetown - practicing what she preaches.
Design Director & Co-Founder
Marcus is our resident perfectionist - in the best way possible. He's got this background in engineering that makes him obsess over details most people never notice. His designs have won us three Ontario Architecture Awards, but he's most proud of his kid's treehouse.
Sustainability Consultant
Elena joined us from Vancouver and brought a whole new level of green building knowledge. She's certified in basically every sustainability standard that exists.
Senior Project Manager
David's the guy who actually gets things built on time and on budget. He worked in construction for 10 years before joining us, so he knows every trick in the book.
Interior Space Specialist
Priya makes sure our buildings aren't just structurally sound but actually livable. She's got this talent for maximizing space without making it feel cramped or sterile.
Urban Planning Lead
Tom's our big-picture thinker. He looks at how our buildings fit into neighborhoods and communities. Used to work for the city, so he knows the approval process inside out.
Projects completed across Canada
Of our work meets LEED standards
Talented team members and growing
We're always looking for talented folks who share our passion for sustainable design. If that sounds like you, let's talk.
