Crafting timeless spaces that honor nature and heritage
View Our Work Let's TalkWe've spent years figuring out how to blend Scandinavian design principles with Vancouver's unique character. It's not about copying what works in Oslo or Stockholm – it's about understanding why those spaces feel right and translating that to our own backyard.
The Pacific Northwest has its own rhythm. Rain, forests, mountains that seem to touch the sky. Our buildings respond to that – they're not fighting the environment, they're part of the conversation.
Our Story
Over the years, we've learned that good architecture isn't just one thing. Sometimes it's designing a home from scratch, sometimes it's breathing new life into a century-old building that deserves another chapter.
Each project tells its own story. Here's a few we're particularly proud of – not because they won awards or got published, but because they work exactly how they're supposed to.

Preserving 1890s character while making it work for modern commercial needs
We're not gonna pretend every project can be a net-zero miracle. But we can be smart about materials, honest about energy use, and thoughtful about how buildings age. Sustainable design isn't about checking boxes – it's about making decisions that respect both the planet and your budget.
From passive solar design to locally-sourced timber, we focus on what actually works in our climate. BC's got amazing resources if you know where to look.
Our ApproachGot a project in mind? Maybe just an idea that's been bouncing around? We'd love to hear about it. Every great building starts with a conversation – usually over coffee.
