Every building tells a story. These are ours - from initial sketches on napkins to spaces where people actually live and work. We've learned something from each one, and honestly, that's what keeps this job interesting.
Oakville, ON
This one's special to us. The clients wanted something that felt connected to the lake without being another glass box. We went with natural materials - lots of wood, stone that changes color depending on the weather. The neighbors weren't thrilled at first, but now they're asking for our number.
Toronto, ON
Tech companies say they want "collaborative spaces" but really they just don't wanna pay for offices anymore. We made this work by creating zones that actually make sense - quiet corners for coding, open areas for the mandatory standup meetings.
Toronto, ON
High-end condo renovation where the client had too many ideas from Pinterest. We spent half our time saying "that won't work" and the other half making it work anyway. Turned out pretty great though - the marble's from Italy, and yeah, it was a pain to ship.
Mississauga, ON
Built this for a company that actually cares about their carbon footprint (rare these days). Solar panels on the roof, green walls inside, rainwater collection - the whole nine yards. The mechanical engineer wasn't thrilled with some of our ideas but we figured it out together.
Toronto, ON
Family of five wanted contemporary but livable. Translation: mom wanted it to look good, dad wanted his home theater, kids needed space to destroy things. We gave 'em hidden storage everywhere and materials that can handle real life.

Restaurant design's tricky - gotta look good for Instagram but also fit enough tables to make money. The chef had strong opinions about the kitchen flow, which actually helped us nail the whole layout. Acoustics were a nightmare to get right.
Mississauga, ON
Clients came to us wanting a home that wouldn't cost a fortune to heat. We got kinda obsessed with the challenge - triple-pane windows, geothermal heating, insulation that's probably overkill but whatever. Their first winter energy bill was like $60 and they sent us a thank-you card which was pretty cool.
