So you're thinking about building or renovating your home? That's huge. We get it - it's probably the biggest investment you'll make, and it's gotta feel right.
We've been designing homes around Toronto for over a decade now. From cozy townhouses in Liberty Village to sprawling estates in Rosedale, we've pretty much seen it all. The thing is, every family's different. Your routine, your lifestyle, the way you actually LIVE in your space - that's what drives our design.
Here's what we typically work on:
- Custom single-family homes (ground-up new builds)
- Major renovations and additions
- Multi-unit residential developments
- Laneway houses and ADUs
- Adaptive reuse projects (turning old buildings into homes)
We'll walk you through zoning, permits, material selection, and all that technical stuff. But more importantly, we'll make sure your home actually works for how you live.
Commercial projects are a whole different beast. You're not just thinking about aesthetics - you need flow, efficiency, brand identity, and a space that actually makes your team want to show up.
We've done everything from boutique retail stores on Queen West to corporate offices in the Financial District. The key? Understanding your business model and designing around it, not the other way around.
Our commercial expertise includes:
- Office buildings and corporate headquarters
- Retail spaces and mixed-use developments
- Restaurants, cafes, and hospitality venues
- Medical and healthcare facilities
- Educational institutions and community centers
- Industrial and warehouse conversions
We're also really into making sure your building's a good neighbor. Ground floor retail that activates the street? Check. Public spaces people actually wanna hang out in? Absolutely.
Okay, this is where things get bigger picture. Urban planning isn't just about individual buildings - it's about how neighborhoods work together, how people move through spaces, and honestly? How we can make Toronto a better place to live.
We've worked with developers, city planners, and community groups to reimagine entire blocks. Sometimes it's a new condo development, sometimes it's revitalizing a struggling commercial corridor. Either way, we're thinking long-term.
What we bring to the table:
- Master planning for large-scale developments
- Zoning analysis and municipal approvals
- Community engagement and consultation
- Transit-oriented development strategies
- Density studies and feasibility analysis
- Public realm improvements
Cities are living things, y'know? They evolve. Our job's to make sure that evolution happens thoughtfully, with real people in mind.
Let's be real - sustainable design isn't optional anymore. Climate's changing, energy costs are climbing, and people actually care about this stuff now. Good news? Green buildings usually perform better AND cost less to run.
We've been pushing sustainable practices since way before it was cool. LEED certifications, passive house standards, net-zero goals - we've done 'em all. But we're also practical about it. Not every project needs to be a showcase for experimental tech.
Our sustainability services:
- Energy modeling and performance optimization
- LEED and Green building certification support
- Passive design strategies (orientation, daylighting, natural ventilation)
- Material selection and lifecycle analysis
- Renewable energy integration (solar, geothermal)
- Water conservation and stormwater management
- Existing building retrofits and upgrades
Bottom line? We'll help you build something that's better for the planet AND your wallet. Win-win.
Ever walk into a space and just feel...off? Like the furniture doesn't quite fit, or you can't figure out the best way to arrange things? Yeah, that's where we come in.
Interior space planning's like solving a 3D puzzle. You've got your circulation paths, functional zones, sightlines, acoustics - all that stuff's gotta work together. And it's not just about making things pretty (though we're good at that too).
What we'll help you nail down:
- Furniture layouts and space allocation
- Flow and circulation patterns
- Lighting design (natural and artificial)
- Material palettes and finishes
- Built-in millwork and custom solutions
- Acoustic treatments and privacy considerations
- Accessibility and universal design
Whether you're outfitting a new office or rethinking your living room, we'll make sure every inch works hard for you.
Toronto's got some beautiful old buildings. Victorian homes, industrial warehouses, art deco gems - they've got character you just can't replicate. But let's face it, they weren't built with modern life in mind.
Heritage work's tricky. You're balancing preservation requirements with contemporary needs. Code compliance, structural upgrades, energy efficiency - all while respecting the original design. It takes patience and a real understanding of historical construction methods.
Our heritage services include:
- Heritage designations and conservation plans
- Structural assessments and stabilization
- Facade restoration and masonry repair
- Window and door refurbishment
- Interior restoration and adaptive reuse
- Code upgrades for heritage structures
- Heritage permits and municipal approvals
We've brought century-old buildings back to life, making 'em work for today while keeping their soul intact. It's some of the most rewarding work we do.
