Look, we've been doing this for years now, and honestly? The best projects happen when clients stop treating architecture like it's some sort of magic trick and start seeing it as a conversation.
Based right here in Toronto, we've gotten pretty good at balancing that tricky dance between sleek contemporary design and respecting what's already standing. Sometimes an old brick facade tells a better story than anything new ever could.
More About UsWe've refined our process over the years, but honestly, every project's a bit different. Here's the general flow though:
Let's just talk. No pressure, no commitments. We'll share some work, you'll share your ideas, and we'll see if there's chemistry.
This is where we explore possibilities. Sketches, mood boards, site analysis - figuring out what could work before getting too attached to any single idea.
Now we're getting serious. Detailed drawings, material selections, working through the technical stuff. Lots of back-and-forth here.
Construction docs, permits, contractor coordination. We're there through the build making sure what gets built matches what we designed.
We know this city. The neighborhoods, the building codes, the heritage committees, the contractors who actually show up on time. That local knowledge? It matters more than you'd think.
Whether you're in Leslieville, Liberty Village, or looking at something in the Annex, we've probably worked on your block already. Come by the studio sometime - we're on Queen West and there's always coffee on.
