What We Do Best

We've spent years figuring out how to make buildings work for people, not the other way around. Here's how we can help bring your project to life.

Look, every project's different. Some clients come to us with sketches on napkins, others have full feasibility studies ready to go. Either way, we're here to help you navigate the whole process - from that first "what if?" conversation to watching the contractors pack up their tools.

Urban Planning & Development

Community Focus

This is where we really geek out. Taking a whole block or neighbourhood and figuring out how to make it work for everyone - the people who live there now, the ones who'll move in, the businesses, the trees, all of it. It's complicated, but that's what makes it interesting.

  • Master planning & site analysis
  • Zoning applications & approvals
  • Community engagement strategies
  • Transit-oriented development

Our process

How We Work

Every project's a bit different, but here's generally how things go down:

1
Discovery & Site Analysis

We dig into what you need, check out the site, figure out what's possible given zoning and budget.

2
Concept Development

Sketches, 3D models, different options to explore. This is where ideas start getting real.

3
Design Development

Getting into the details - materials, systems, finishes. Making sure everything actually works.

4
Construction Documentation

All the drawings and specs contractors need to actually build the thing right.

5
Construction Administration

Site visits, answering questions, making sure it's all going according to plan.
