Who We Are

Real people, real designs, real impact on how we're gonna live tomorrow

Our Story

Started back in 2012 when two architects got tired of seeing the same cookie-cutter buildings pop up everywhere. We figured there's gotta be a better way - one that doesn't cost the earth, literally.

Look, we're not gonna pretend we've reinvented architecture or anything. But what we do know is how to listen. Most folks come to us with a dream - maybe it's a home that breathes with the seasons, or an office space that doesn't feel like a corporate prison. Whatever it is, we're here to make it happen without wrecking the planet in the process.

Vancouver's our home, and honestly? It's taught us so much about working with nature instead of against it. Rain, mountains, ocean - they're not obstacles, they're partners in every design we create.

Our approach isn't rocket science. We sketch, we talk, we iterate. Sometimes we argue (in a good way). But at the end of the day, we're all pulling in the same direction - creating spaces that'll still make sense fifty years from now.

The team's grown over the years, but we've kept that same energy from day one. Everyone here genuinely cares about what they're putting out into the world. Cheesy? Maybe. But it's true.

The Team

Team member

Marcus Halvronen

Principal Architect

Been drawing buildings since I was a kid. Still get excited about a good floor plan. Obsessed with how natural light moves through spaces - my family thinks I'm weird for photographing shadows, but hey, that's the job.

Team member

Elena Quintho

Principal Architect & Sustainability Lead

I'm the one who'll ask "but is it sustainable?" about seventeen times during a project. Can't help it - grew up in a family that composted before it was cool. Architecture's my way of scaling up that mindset.

Team member

Jordan Chen

Senior Designer

The newest principal, but don't let that fool you. Jordan's been making the rest of us look bad with award-winning designs for years. Somehow makes complex building systems look effortless on paper.

Team member

Priya Sandhu

Interior Planning Specialist

If there's a weird corner or awkward nook, I'm your person. Love figuring out how people actually use spaces - not how we think they should. Coffee addict, space optimizer, chronic doodler.

Team member

Thomas Eriksson

Heritage Restoration Architect

Old buildings have stories, and I'm here to make sure they keep telling them. Nothing beats the satisfaction of bringing a century-old structure back to life while sneaking in modern efficiency.

Team member

Sofia Martinez

Urban Development Coordinator

Think of me as the person who looks at the big picture while everyone else is focused on individual buildings. Cities are living organisms, and I'm all about making sure they grow in healthy ways.

What People Say

How We Work

There's no magic formula here. We start by listening - like, really listening - to what you need. Then we sketch, model, and iterate until it feels right. Sometimes that takes three meetings, sometimes thirty. Whatever it takes.

Initial Consultation

Coffee and conversation. We wanna know what makes you tick and what you're trying to build.

Concept Development

This is where ideas start taking shape. Lots of sketches, some 3D models, plenty of back-and-forth.

Detailed Design

Getting into the nitty-gritty. Every material, every measurement, every system gets figured out here.

Construction Support

We don't just hand over plans and disappear. We're there throughout the build, making sure everything's going according to plan.

Our process

"Every project's different, and that's what keeps this job interesting. We've never designed the same thing twice."
