Our Story (The Real One)
Look, we started this whole thing back in 2012 because honestly? We were tired of seeing the same cookie-cutter designs everywhere. Toronto's an incredible city, but it deserves better than buildings that just take up space.
I remember sitting in my cramped apartment (yeah, the rent was brutal even back then) sketching ideas on napkins, thinking there's gotta be a way to make architecture that actually respects the environment while still looking damn good. Fast forward to now, and we've built everything from net-zero homes to commercial spaces that actually produce more energy than they consume.
"We're not trying to win awards here - though we've snagged a few. We're trying to prove that sustainable doesn't mean boring, and contemporary doesn't mean wasteful."
What makes us different? We don't do the whole 'architect knows best' thing. When someone comes to us with a project, we're listening - really listening. You know your space better than we ever will. Our job is to take that vision and make it work with the planet, not against it.
How We Actually Work
First coffee meeting's on us. We'll talk about what you need, what you want, and yeah - what you can actually afford. No point designing a dream if it's gonna bankrupt you, right? From there, we dig into the site analysis, figure out how the sun moves, where the wind comes from, what the neighborhood vibe is.
Our team's a mix of old-school drafting nerds and digital modeling wizards. We've got folks who can sketch a concept in minutes and others who can run thermal simulations that'll tell you exactly how your building will perform in a heat wave. It's that combination that keeps things interesting.
