What We're Really About

Look, there's plenty of firms out there who'll give you something that looks good on paper. We're more interested in buildings that'll still be working great 20 years from now.

Based right here in Vancouver, we've spent years figuring out what actually works in our climate and community. Sustainable design isn't just a checkbox for us - it's kinda the whole point. We're talking lower energy bills, healthier indoor spaces, and projects that don't cost the earth (literally).

Why Sustainability Isn't Optional Anymore

Here's the thing - Vancouver's getting serious about climate action. New building codes are tightening up every year, and honestly? That's a good thing.

We've been doing green builds since before it was mandatory, so we're not scrambling to catch up. Whether you're aiming for net-zero or just want to cut your heating bills in half, we've done it before.

Plus, sustainable doesn't mean boring or boxy. Some of our most interesting projects have been our greenest ones.
