Architectural services

Comprehensive Design Services

From concept sketches to construction completion, we're with you every step of the way. Each project gets our full attention because honestly, there's nothing cookie-cutter about what we do.

Residential Design

Your home should tell your story, not ours. We've spent years perfecting residential projects - everything from cozy laneway houses to sprawling family estates. We'll listen to how you actually live, not just what looks good on paper, and design spaces that work with your lifestyle.

What's Included:
  • Site analysis & feasibility studies
  • Concept development & schematic design
  • Building permit drawings
  • Material selection & specifications

Typical Timeline

12-16 weeks for complete design package

Commercial Architecture

Businesses need buildings that actually support their operations, not hinder them. We've designed retail spaces, offices, and mixed-use developments across Toronto. Our approach? Understanding your workflow first, then creating architecture that enhances it while keeping costs realistic.

What's Included:
  • Code compliance & zoning analysis
  • Space programming & efficiency planning
  • Construction documentation
  • Accessibility & safety coordination

Typical Timeline

16-24 weeks depending on project scope

Sustainable Building Solutions

Look, sustainable design isn't just a trendy add-on anymore - it's just smart building. We integrate energy-efficient systems, eco-friendly materials, and passive design strategies from day one. You'll save money on utilities while doing something good for the planet. Win-win, right?

Energy Modeling

We'll run the numbers to optimize your building's performance

Passive Design

Natural light and ventilation strategies that actually work

Water Conservation

Rainwater harvesting & greywater systems integration

Material Selection

Low-impact materials that don't compromise on quality

Timeline Integration

Sustainability planning runs parallel with design phases

Interior Space Planning

Great architecture doesn't stop at the walls. We'll help you figure out how to actually use your space efficiently. It's about flow, function, and yeah - making sure your furniture fits without feeling cramped.

  • Furniture layouts & spatial organization
  • Lighting design & fixture selection
  • Finish schedules & color coordination
  • Built-in millwork design

Typical Timeline

6-10 weeks for comprehensive interiors

3D Visualization & Rendering

Blueprints are great if you speak architect, but most folks don't. That's why we create photorealistic renderings so you can see exactly what you're getting before breaking ground. No surprises, no regrets.

  • Exterior & interior photorealistic renders
  • Virtual walkthroughs & animations
  • Material & lighting studies
  • Design iteration visualizations

Typical Timeline

2-4 weeks per visualization package

Construction Administration

Design's done, permits pulled - now comes the real work. We'll stick around during construction to make sure builders are following the plans and answer questions as they come up (and trust me, they always come up).

  • Regular site visits & progress reviews
  • Contractor coordination & RFI responses
  • Quality control & compliance checks
  • Final inspections & project closeout

Typical Timeline
