Real projects, real impact. Here's what we've been cooking up lately.
We don't do cookie-cutter designs here. Every project tells a story - whether it's breathing new life into a century-old building or creating a mixed-use space that actually gets how people live today. From sketches on napkins to ribbon-cutting ceremonies, we're hands-on through it all.
Toronto, ON - Completed 2024
This 12-story residential tower along the Humber River wasn't just about stacking apartments - it was about creating a vertical neighborhood. We integrated rooftop gardens, shared workspace pods, and ground-floor retail that actually connects with the street. The passive solar design cuts heating costs by nearly 40%, and residents tell us they've bumped into more neighbors in six months than they did in years at their old buildings.
Toronto, ON - Ongoing
Turning a former industrial lot into a thriving mixed-use hub has been one of our wildest rides. We're talking condos, offices, maker spaces, and a public market that'll become the neighborhood's living room. The challenge? Keeping the gritty character of the Junction while making it work for today. We salvaged original brick from the 1920s factory that stood here and worked it into the new facades - old meeting new, literally.
Etobicoke, ON - Completed 2023
When the owner of this 1848 grist mill wanted to convert it into boutique offices, everyone said we were nuts. The structure was barely standing, half the beams were rotted, and don't even get me started on the foundation. But we saw the bones of something special. Eighteen months of painstaking restoration later, we've got exposed timber trusses, original stone walls, and modern amenities that don't scream "I'm modern!" The heritage board actually teared up at the final walkthrough.
Mississauga, ON - Completed 2023
The client wanted "something different" for their tech campus, which usually means we're in for a fun time. We designed flexible workspace that can morph from open collaboration zones to focused quiet areas depending on what teams need that day. Floor-to-ceiling glass brings in natural light from every angle, and the building's smart systems learn usage patterns to optimize everything from lighting to airflow. Plus, the green roof isn't just for show - it's cut cooling costs by 30% and gives employees an actual outdoor space to decompress.
Toronto, ON - Completed 2024
Taking a cramped 1970s condo and transforming it into an airy, light-filled loft was all about strategic demolition and smart material choices. We knocked out every non-structural wall we could, installed custom steel and glass partitions for the bedroom, and built in storage that disappears into the architecture. The kitchen island doubles as a workspace and dining table - because that's how people actually live. Reclaimed wood accents and locally-sourced stone counters keep it grounded and warm.
Scarborough, ON - Completed 2025
This one's close to our hearts. Working with the city to create a net-zero community centre meant getting creative with every detail. We oriented the building to maximize passive solar gain, installed a living wall system that handles greywater recycling, and used mass timber construction to reduce embodied carbon. The multipurpose spaces host everything from daycare to seniors' programs, and the whole building runs on renewable energy. It's proof that sustainable design doesn't have to cost the moon - it just takes thoughtful planning.
We're always up for a challenge. Whether you're dealing with a tricky site, a tight budget, or just want to create something that doesn't look like everything else on the block - let's talk.
