Packages
Architecture practice for Toronto homes and small commercial spaces
Four ways to work with us: custom homes, renovations and additions, interior architecture and small commercial projects.
Services
Four packages, one practice
Each package carries through from first sketch to the last site visit, shaped by light, material and how the space will be used.
Custom homes
Ground-up houses designed around the site, the light and how a family lives, from first sketch to the last detail.
Renovations and additions
Additions, rear extensions and whole-house renovations that respect what's there and improve how it works.
Interior architecture
Kitchens, stairs, built-ins and whole interiors reworked for light, storage and everyday use.
Small commercial
Shops, studios and small workplaces designed for how people move through and use the space.
Process
How a project unfolds
The same three stages carry every project, from a first walk through the site to the final inspection on site.
- Step 1
First conversation
We meet at the site, talk through how you live and work, and set a brief for the project — the land, the light, the budget and what the space needs to do.
Agree the brief before any drawing begins
- Step 2
Concept
We develop massing and plans, testing options for light, material and layout, and bring a concept you can walk through before a single wall is drawn.
Approve the concept before we move to drawings
- Step 3
Design development and permits
Drawings are refined into construction documents and submitted to the City of Toronto for permit, with materials and details resolved along the way.
- Step 4
Construction administration
We stay on site through the build, reviewing the work against the drawings so the finished rooms hold the light and proportion we designed.
