Look, we're not your typical architectural studio. We got this thing about how light moves through space - kinda obsessed with it, honestly. Every building we touch becomes something that breathes and shifts throughout the day.
Been doing this for years now, and we still get excited when we see how morning sun catches those angular facades just right. That's what drives us - creating structures that aren't just standing there but actually interacting with their environment.
Six core services, each one shaped by real projects and real challenges we've tackled over the years.
Your home shouldn't just shelter you - it should enhance how you live. We design residential spaces where every angle and window placement has a purpose, capturing light in ways that change your daily experience.
Commercial projects need to perform - we get that. But they can also inspire. We've planned office towers and retail spaces that actually make people want to be there, which turns out to be pretty good for business.
Sometimes you don't need a whole new building - you just need someone to see the potential in what's already there. We're kinda nerdy about spatial flow and how to make every square foot earn its keep.
Green building isn't a trend for us - it's just smart design. We've been figuring out how to make buildings energy-efficient without sacrificing aesthetics for a while now, and honestly, it makes the work more interesting.
Before we break ground, you'll see exactly what you're getting. Our visualizations aren't just pretty pictures - they're working tools that help us refine designs and catch issues before they become expensive problems.
Old buildings have stories, and we're careful listeners. Restoration work taught us a lot about respecting what came before while making spaces work for today. It's delicate work, but incredibly rewarding.
Good question. It started with a simple observation years ago - crystals don't just reflect light, they transform it. They break it apart, redirect it, create something new.
That's what we try to do with architecture. Not literally making crystal buildings (though we've done some pretty cool glass work), but thinking about structures as active participants in their environment rather than passive objects.
The geometric approach isn't about being trendy or different for the sake of it. It's about precision. About understanding that every angle creates a relationship with sun, shadow, and space. We've found that when you really dive into the math and physics of it all, beautiful things tend to happen.
Based in Toronto, we've worked on projects across Canada - each one teaching us something new about how buildings and their surroundings can have a real conversation.
More About Our ApproachA few things we've been working on lately that we're pretty proud of.
Private home that captures lake views through strategically angled glass panels - the sunrise here is something else.
15-story mixed-use building that's become a bit of a landmark.
Whether you've got a fully-formed vision or just a rough idea you're kicking around, we'd love to hear about it. First conversations are always relaxed - just figuring out if we're a good fit for what you're trying to do.
