Who We Are

We're not your typical architecture firm - we're the folks who think cities can be both beautiful and kind to the planet.

HyperQuester Studio

Our Story

Started back in 2011 in a cramped office above a coffee shop on King Street - yeah, that same coffee shop we still get our morning fix from. What began as three architects sketching on napkins has grown into a team that's honestly obsessed with reimagining how cities work.

We've always been a bit rebellious about the whole "concrete jungle" thing. Every project we take on, we're asking ourselves: how can this make Toronto (and beyond) a place where people actually want to hang out? Where nature isn't just an afterthought?

Over the years, we've designed everything from mixed-use towers that breathe with green walls to heritage buildings given new life without losing their soul. The thread that ties it all together? We genuinely care about the communities we're building for.

What Drives Us

It's not just about buildings - it's about the spaces between them, the people inside them, and the planet we're all sharing.

🌱
Sustainability First

We're not gonna pretend - we're kinda nerdy about green building standards and passive design strategies.

🤝
Community Focused

Every neighbourhood's got its own vibe. We spend time walking around, talking to locals, before we even sketch a line.

🎨
Design Innovation

We love pushing boundaries - mixing old and new, blending tech with tradition, creating spaces that surprise you.

Future Ready

Cities are constantly changing. We design buildings that can adapt, evolve, and stay relevant for decades.

Master-planned a 3-block waterfront area that prioritizes pedestrians over cars, with tons of public space and native plantings that brought the birds back.
