SUSTAINABILITY
Practical, passive-solar design is the most cost-effective approach to achieving a comfortable, quiet, energy-efficient home. Our unique design process employs empirical experience and research to optimize the shape of your home and placement of windows. You will get heat from the sun and ventilation from the wind. Our staff is accredited under the CaGBC’s LEED program, and the Canadian Passive House Institute. Our projects are some of the most air-tight and effectively insulated homes in Canada, which means they work well and they last.
CREATIVE & CONTEXTUAL DESIGN
Our design approach seeks to balance contextual sensitivity with the advanced capabilities of modern design and construction techniques. Formally, our projects are responsive to the scale and aesthetic of neighbouring structures and good urban character. Functionally, our designs optimize internal space, respond to the environment, and create drama and delight. We want you to be excited to go home.

URBAN INFILL DESIGN
In a rapidly densifying city like Toronto, space is precious, and optimizing the use of your property is essential to your family’s finances and well-being. We are leaders in acquiring approvals for unique, intricate projects such as laneway houses, coach houses, severances, major additions/renovations, secondary suites, triplexes, multi-generational homes, and other advanced typologies that require advanced knowledge and experienced leadership.
