Our Projects

Real builds, real challenges, real solutions. Here's what we've been working on lately—each one's got its own story and a few surprises we didn't see coming.

Seaside Eco Residence Featured Project
Residential • Sustainable

Seaside Eco Residence

West Vancouver, BC

This one pushed us in all the right ways. Client wanted a net-zero home that didn't scream "look at me, I'm sustainable!" We integrated solar panels into the roofline so smoothly you'd barely notice 'em, used reclaimed coastal timber for the main beams, and designed a greywater system that keeps their garden lush year-round.

Harbour Tech Hub

Gastown, Vancouver

Converting a 1920s warehouse into a tech office was... well, it had its moments. Kept the original brick and timber trusses—they're the soul of the place. Added floor-to-ceiling glass on the north side for natural light without the glare. The CEO told us it's their best recruiting tool now.

Shaughnessy Modern Estate
Residential

Shaughnessy Modern Estate

Shaughnessy, Vancouver

High-end residential in one of Vancouver's heritage neighborhoods—yeah, that meant navigating some strict bylaws. We designed a contemporary home that respects the streetscape without mimicking it. Think clean lines, local stone cladding, and strategic setbacks that give privacy without feeling fortress-like.

Heritage Bank Conversion

Downtown Vancouver

Turning a 1912 bank into mixed-use space was honestly a bit nerve-wracking. Every wall had a story, and the heritage committee was watching closely. We kept the marble counters, restored the original vault (it's now a wine cellar for the restaurant), and added a modern glass mezzanine that floats above the main floor.

Project Duration 18 months
Heritage Status Class A Protected

Kitsilano Passive House

Kitsilano, Vancouver

First certified Passive House we did, and man, the attention to detail was intense. Every joint, every window installation—it all mattered. Client's heating bill now? About $200 a year. Yeah, you read that right.

Main Street Retail
Commercial • Retail

Main Street Retail Hub

Main Street, Vancouver

Three storefronts, one cohesive design that doesn't look cookie-cutter. We used modular elements that each tenant could personalize while keeping the street presence unified. The green wall on the second floor? Total crowd-pleaser.

Laneway Housing

Cambie Laneway Studio

Cambie, Vancouver

Tiny footprint, big impact. We squeezed a full apartment into 650 sq ft without it feeling cramped. The secret? Vertical space utilization and some clever built-ins that pull double duty. Client rents it out for more than their mortgage payment.

Mount Pleasant Creative Studios

Mount Pleasant, Vancouver

An old printing factory that needed new life. We gutted it but kept the character—exposed ductwork, polished concrete floors, and those massive industrial windows. Now it's home to about a dozen creative agencies who all say the space helps them think differently.

North Shore Retreat
Residential

North Shore Mountain Retreat

North Vancouver, BC

Building on a slope is tricky. Building on a 35-degree slope with a view you don't want to mess up? That's a whole different challenge. We cantilevered the main living space over the hillside—feels like you're floating above the trees. Structural engineer earned their fee on this one, that's for sure.

Yaletown Bistro
Restaurant Design

Yaletown Bistro Renovation

Yaletown, Vancouver

Restaurant design is all about flow and vibe. This place was a failed sushi joint with weird sightlines and a kitchen that backed up during rush. We reconfigured the whole layout, added a semi-open kitchen so diners can watch the action, and used acoustic panels that don't look like acoustic panels. It's packed every night now.

Olympic Village Office
Commercial • LEED Gold

Olympic Village Office Complex

False Creek, Vancouver

This project was ambitious from day one. Three-story office building targeting LEED Gold in one of Vancouver's most sustainable neighborhoods—no pressure, right? We incorporated a green roof that doubles as tenant amenity space, rainwater harvesting that cut municipal water use by 60%, and a geothermal system that's performing better than we projected. The toughest part? Coordinating all those systems so they actually talk to each other properly.
