Arcane Valquint Architecture | Where Mystery Meets Modern Living

We're not your typical architecture studio

Look, there's something different happening here at our Vancouver studio. We've been blending the unexpected with the functional for years now, and honestly? It's become kinda our thing. Contemporary design doesn't have to be cold or predictable - it can surprise you, make you feel something.

Every project we take on starts with a simple question: how do we make this space work better for the people who'll actually live in it? Then we push it further, adding layers of sustainability and those little moments of wonder that make a building more than just walls and windows.

What we actually do

Six services that cover pretty much everything you'd need from an architecture firm

🏠

Residential Architecture

Your home should tell your story, not ours. We design spaces that fit how you actually live - whether that's a laneway house, a full custom build, or breathing new life into what you've already got.

🏢

Commercial Design

Offices, retail spaces, mixed-use developments - we've done 'em all. The goal's always the same though: create something that works hard for your business while looking damn good doing it.

🌱

Sustainable Building Consulting

This isn't just checking boxes for LEED certification. We dig into the real environmental impact, find ways to reduce energy use, and make sure your building's gonna be efficient for decades.

Interior Space Planning

Sometimes you don't need to knock down walls - you just need to rethink how you're using the space. Flow, light, function... we'll help you figure out what's possible.

🏛️

Historic Renovation

There's something special about Vancouver's older buildings. We respect that history while making these spaces work for modern life - it's a balancing act we've gotten pretty good at.

🌿

Landscape Integration

A building doesn't end at its walls. We think about how it sits on the land, how you move through the outdoor spaces, and how the whole thing comes together as one experience.

Sustainability isn't optional anymore

We've been integrating sustainable practices since way before it was trendy. Climate-conscious design, passive heating and cooling, material selection that actually matters - this stuff's baked into everything we do now.

British Columbia's got some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the world. Seems kinda stupid to design buildings that don't respect that, y'know? Our approach is practical, not preachy - just good design that happens to be better for the planet.

Our Green Approach

Recent work worth checking out

We just wrapped up a mixed-use development in Kitsilano that's getting some attention. Residential units on top, retail below, and a green roof that's become the building's centerpiece. It's one of those projects where everything just clicked.

What people are saying

Honestly, this is the part that keeps us going

"They listened to what we wanted but weren't afraid to push back when they had a better idea. Our home turned out way more interesting than we'd imagined, and we've been living in it for three years now - still love it."

— Jennifer M., Homeowner

"The sustainable features they integrated have cut our operating costs by about 40%. That wasn't just good for the environment - it was smart business. Plus, employees actually want to work in the office now."

— David K., Commercial Client

"We had a heritage building that was falling apart. They managed to preserve what made it special while making it actually functional for modern retail. That's not easy, and they nailed it."

— Sarah T., Property Developer
