VANCOUVER'S SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STUDIO

Crafting Tomorrow's Built Environment Today

Look, we're not gonna pretend buildings just magically appear. For over a decade, we've been sketching, planning, and actually building spaces that don't just look good—they work with the planet, not against it.

Whether you're thinking residential, commercial, or somewhere in between, we're here to turn those "what if" conversations into real structures that'll still matter in 50 years.

What we're all about

Here's the thing—every project's different. Some clients come to us with detailed sketches, others just know they need something better than what exists. We've done heritage restorations where you're basically solving a 100-year-old puzzle, and we've done ground-up commercial builds where sustainability isn't a checkbox, it's the whole point.

R

Residential Design & Planning

Your home shouldn't feel like everyone else's. We get into the details—how you actually live, what bugs you about typical layouts, where the light hits at different times of day.

C

Commercial Architecture

Offices, retail, mixed-use—we've learned that commercial spaces need to earn their keep. Design that looks sharp but also makes financial sense over the long haul.

S

Sustainable Building Solutions

This isn't greenwashing. We're talking real energy modeling, material lifecycle analysis, passive design strategies that actually reduce your footprint and operating costs.

I

Interior Space Planning

Sometimes the exterior's fine but the inside? Total disaster. We'll reconfigure what you've got to actually work the way you need it to—no unnecessary walls, no wasted corners.

H

Heritage Building Restoration

Old buildings have stories, and honestly? They're often built better than new ones. We respect what's there while making them functional for today—permits, preservation standards, all of it.

U

Urban Planning Consultation

Zoning's confusing, municipal processes are slow, and frankly, you need someone who speaks that language. We'll navigate the bureaucracy so your project actually happens.

Why we're kinda obsessed with sustainability

Let's be real—buildings are massive energy hogs. They account for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions, and most of that's completely avoidable with smarter design choices from day one.

We've been at this long enough to see trends come and go. What doesn't change? Physics. Passive solar design works. Proper insulation works. Choosing materials that don't off-gas nasty stuff works. We're not chasing certifications just to put logos on a website—we're building stuff that actually performs.

And yeah, it can cost a bit more upfront, but when your heating bill's half what your neighbor's is and your building's still standing strong in 50 years, you'll get why we're so pushy about it.
