Who We Are

Forging Tomorrow's Architecture with Strength and Vision

Look, we're not your typical architecture studio that throws around fancy words and promises the moon. Started back in 2012 in a cramped office on Queen West, we've grown into something we're genuinely proud of.

We got into this business because we believed industrial spaces didn't have to look like soul-crushing concrete boxes, and sustainable design shouldn't cost you an arm and a leg. Turns out, a lot of folks in Toronto felt the same way.

Our Journey

2012

The Beginning

Three architects, one dream, and way too much coffee. We opened our doors with nothing but a laptop and an unhealthy obsession with making industrial buildings actually look good.

2015

First Big Break

Landed our first major industrial complex project in Mississauga. Turns out clients really dig designs that don't sacrifice form for function - who knew?

2018

Going Green

Achieved our first LEED Platinum certification. That's when we realized sustainable design wasn't just a trend - it was the future, and we wanted in on it.

2025

Today

Now we're a team of 23 passionate folks working on projects across Ontario. Still drinking too much coffee, still obsessed with good design.

Meet the Core Team

Marcus Chen - Principal Architect

15 years wrangling steel and concrete into submission

Marcus spent a decade at one of Toronto's biggest firms before deciding corporate architecture wasn't his thing. He's got this knack for seeing potential in the most beaten-down industrial sites. When he's not sketching designs, you'll find him restoring vintage motorcycles in his garage.

Sarah Okonkwo - Lead Sustainability Consultant

LEED AP BD+C, Passive House Designer

Sarah joined us in 2016 after getting fed up with greenwashing in the industry. She's the one who'll tell you straight up if your "eco-friendly" idea is actually garbage. Her projects have reduced energy consumption by an average of 45% - and yeah, she keeps track.

Jamie Rodriguez - Urban Planning Director

Former city planner turned private sector rebel

Jamie worked for the City of Toronto for eight years before joining our crew. She knows the permit process inside-out and somehow makes dealing with bureaucracy almost bearable. Her superpower? Getting projects approved that other firms said were impossible.

David Kim - Heritage Restoration Specialist

Bringing old buildings back from the dead since 2008

David's the guy who gets genuinely excited about 100-year-old brick mortar. He's restored over 30 heritage buildings across Ontario, and he's got stories about every single one of them. Fair warning - don't get him started on modern construction shortcuts unless you've got an hour to spare.

What Drives Us

Here's the thing - we're tired of buildings that either look amazing but fall apart in five years, or last forever but make you want to gouge your eyes out. Why can't we have both?

Every project we take on, we're thinking long-term. Not just "will this win awards?" but "will this still make sense in 50 years?" That means sustainable materials, energy-efficient designs, and spaces that people actually want to spend time in.

We've screwed up along the way - learned some hard lessons about what works and what doesn't. But that's made us better at what we do. We're not perfect, but we're honest about it, and we'll work our butts off to get it right.

We're always up for a good challenge. Got an industrial space that needs reimagining? A heritage building that's seen better days? An ambitious sustainable project that other firms won't touch?

Let's grab a coffee and talk about it. No corporate presentations, no sales pitch - just straight talk about what's possible and what it'll take to get there.
