Here's the thing—most firms tell you they're innovative or sustainable or whatever. We don't really do that. Instead, we just show up, listen to what a community actually needs, and figure out how to make it happen without bulldozing the character that makes a place special.
Whether it's reimagining a heritage building downtown or planning an entire neighbourhood from scratch, our approach stays the same: respect the context, think long-term, and don't pretend you have all the answers on day one.

We map out entire districts and neighbourhoods, thinking through everything from transit flows to where people'll grab their morning coffee. It's big-picture stuff that needs to work for real humans, not just look good in renderings.
Old buildings have stories, and honestly, most of 'em are built better than what we throw up today. We bring them back to life while making sure they're practical for modern use. No museum pieces—actual functioning spaces.
Yeah, we care about the planet. But sustainable design isn't just solar panels and green roofs. It's about creating buildings and spaces that don't cost a fortune to run and won't be torn down in twenty years.
Municipal regulations can be a nightmare. We navigate the bylaws, variance applications, and all that bureaucratic stuff so your project doesn't get stuck in approval hell for two years.
Before breaking ground, you've gotta know what you're dealing with. We assess how your project affects the surrounding environment and figure out ways to minimize any negative impact.
The people who live somewhere know it better than any consultant ever will. We organize proper community consultations—not the fake ones where decisions are already made—to make sure local voices actually shape the outcome.
You know what drives us crazy? Developers who treat neighbourhoods like blank canvases. Or preservationists who want everything frozen in amber. Both miss the point.
Good urban design means understanding that a city's a living thing. It's gotta grow and change, sure, but not by erasing what makes it worth living in. That's where we come in—finding the sweet spot between preservation and progress.
We've been doing this since 2008, mostly around Toronto but we've worked across Ontario and beyond. Every project teaches us something new, which is probably why we're still excited to show up on Monday mornings.

Turned a 1890s warehouse into mixed-use space without losing its industrial soul. Still has the original beam work and brick—just with better plumbing.

500-unit mixed-income neighbourhood with actual green space people use. Not just decorative grass—parks where kids play and neighbours run into each other.
