Projects That Matter

We've spent the last decade working on buildings that actually mean something to the communities they serve. Here's what we've been up to - the restoration work that saved Vancouver's architectural gems, the new builds that pushed sustainability boundaries, and everything in between.

Gastown Heritage Block

Gastown Heritage Block

Honestly, this one kept me up at night. Taking a 1889 brick building that was literally crumbling and bringing it back without losing its soul? That's the kind of challenge that makes or breaks a heritage project. We stripped everything down to the original timber frame, reinforced the structure with hidden steel supports, and rebuilt it brick by brick using period-appropriate techniques. The owner wanted modern retail on the ground floor and loft apartments above - we made it happen while keeping every original detail we could salvage.

West Vancouver Eco Residence

Client came to us wanting a house that'd basically run itself. Net-zero energy, rainwater harvesting, the works. We designed this beauty into the hillside - geothermal heating, solar panels hidden in the roofline, triple-glazed windows. It's got this cantilevered section over the slope that everyone freaks out about, but structurally? Solid as they come.

Yaletown Tech Hub

Converted an old warehouse into flexible co-working space. Kept the exposed brick and timber beams - why would you cover that up? - and added modular glass offices that can be reconfigured in about an hour.

False Creek Waterfront Plan
Urban Planning

False Creek Waterfront Plan

Master planning project that reimagined 2km of waterfront. Mixed-use development with public spaces, bike paths, and native plant restoration. Still rolling out in phases.

Granville Island Theatre Restoration

This 1930s theatre was a mess when we got it - water damage, structural issues, decades of bad renovations. We brought it back to its art deco glory while sneaking in modern accessibility, HVAC, and seismic upgrades. The before/after on this one still blows my mind.

Kitsilano Townhouse Complex
Residential

Kitsilano Townhouse Complex

Six-unit development that actually fits the neighborhood character. People always worry new builds'll stick out - not these. We matched the rooflines, used local materials, and gave each unit its own personality.

Main Street Retail Renovation

Ground-floor retail that was stuck in the '80s. Opened up the facade with floor-to-ceiling glass, reworked the layout for better flow, and added a green roof that's become a little neighborhood oasis.

Strathcona Victorian Revival
Heritage Restoration

Strathcona Victorian Revival

1895 Victorian that needed serious love. Original owner's family wanted to keep it in use, so we did a full heritage restoration while updating everything behind the walls. It's basically a smart home in Victorian clothing.

Mount Pleasant Community Hub
Urban Planning

Mount Pleasant Community Hub

The city wanted a community space that'd actually get used. We built around what locals told us they needed - maker spaces, community kitchen, flexible event area, and a rooftop garden where people actually hang out. It's packed most evenings.

Commercial Drive Laneway Home

Laneway houses are tricky - you've got like 600 square feet to make livable. This one's got a murphy bed setup, fold-out workspace, and a kitchen that doesn't feel cramped. The skylight over the main space makes it feel way bigger than it is.
