Look, we're not here to greenwash or throw around fancy eco-jargon. We've been designing buildings that actually respect the planet since day one – because honestly, what's the point of creating something beautiful if it's gonna wreck the world for the next generation?
Real sustainability. Real results. No BS.
These aren't just badges we stuck on our website. Each one represents countless hours of learning, implementing, and honestly – sometimes failing and trying again. That's how you get good at this stuff.
Professional Designation
Four of our senior architects hold LEED AP credentials. We've guided 23 projects to LEED certification – from Silver to Platinum.
Building Standard
Because healthy buildings mean healthy people. We're trained in creating spaces that prioritize air quality, lighting, and overall wellness.
Design Standard
Ultra-low energy buildings that stay comfortable year-round. It's a tough standard, but when you nail it, energy bills drop by up to 90%.
Industry Partnership
Active members of the Canada Green Building Council since 2018, contributing to policy development and industry standards.
These metrics represent real projects we've completed in the past 5 years. We track everything because you can't improve what you don't measure, right?

This was a tough one – retrofitting a 1980s office tower without tearing it down. The owners wanted modern efficiency but couldn't afford a total rebuild. We got creative with the envelope, upgraded all systems, and threw in a 200kW solar array on the roof.
"The tenant satisfaction scores jumped by 28% after the renovation. Turns out people like fresh air and natural light – who knew?" - Project Lead
A developer came to us wanting "green-ish" townhomes. We convinced them to go all-in on Passive House. Yeah, it cost more upfront, but these homes use 90% less energy for heating. The units sold out before construction finished, and now there's a waiting list.
"One homeowner told us their January heating bill was $47. For a 2000 sq ft townhome in Toronto. That's not a typo."
Converting a 100-year-old warehouse into mixed-use space? Challenge accepted. We kept the existing structure (saving tons of embodied carbon), added a green roof, installed geothermal heating, and created spaces that actually feel good to work in. This one's special to us.
"By keeping the original brick and timber structure, we preserved the building's character AND avoided the carbon cost of demolition. Win-win."
There's no magic formula – just careful planning, honest conversations with clients about budgets, and a willingness to try new things. Sometimes we mess up. When we do, we learn from it and do better next time.
We start every project with an energy model. Not because it's trendy, but because you can't hit targets you haven't set. Then we work backwards from there, figuring out what makes sense for the specific site, climate, and budget.
