Nearly 20 years ago, we started around a kitchen table. Today, we’re a team of 32 designing housing, education, and civic spaces that matter.

As we hit this milestone, we’re proud to unveil a new brand identity that reflects who we’ve become: new logo, new typography, new colour palette, new website.

Same commitment to and belief in an architecture of belonging. New look.

We are thrilled to share new photos by Andrew Latreille of the UBC Beaty Biodiversity Centre Addition just in time for the fall term.

This expansion to the UBC Beaty Biodiversity Centre builds research and collaboration capacity for the scientists working on some of the most urgent issues of our day: ecology, evolution, and conservation of life on Earth across all levels from genes to entire ecosystems.

Proud to share that the Fulmer Family Centre for Childhood Studies at Capilano University has achieved LEED Gold certification! 🌱A testament to thoughtful, sustainable design.

From a mass timber structure that reduced embodied carbon, to rainwater management systems handling the 90th percentile storm event, all our decisions aimed at minimizing environmental impacts. The building runs on 42.6% less energy than code baseline, uses 91% less irrigation water, and earned full marks for low-emitting materials, which means healthier air for children and educators.

Sustainability here goes beyond performance numbers. All-gender restrooms, 100% LED lighting, quality views, EV charging, and a 73% reduction in parking all reflect a building designed for people just as much as the planet.

This 🌎 we’re reflecting on our commitment to creating civic and cultural spaces that respect the landscapes they inhabit.

Whether utilizing innovative organics processing and greenhouse technology to transform wastewater into a resource for the LEED Gold Sechelt Water Treatment Centre💧; integrating advanced helium recycling systems for the UBC Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute🥼; or, implementing a high-performance seismic timber structure for the LEED Gold KPU Wilson School of Design🌲, our goal remains: architecture that gives more than it takes.

Sustainable design is about creating resilient spaces where culture and nature can thrive together.
