Look, we've been in this game long enough to know that sustainability isn't just a checkbox anymore - it's literally how we design everything now. And honestly? It's made our work better.

Everyone talks about "going green" but let me break down what that actually means when we're knee-deep in a project:
Before we even think about fancy tech, we're obsessing over orientation, thermal mass, and natural ventilation. It's like... why fight the sun when you can work with it?
We dig deep into where stuff comes from. Local timber, reclaimed materials, low-VOC finishes - it's not just about carbon footprint, it's about creating healthier spaces too.
Rainwater harvesting, greywater systems, drought-resistant landscaping. Vancouver gets plenty of rain - we might as well use it smart, right?
We've got Gold & Platinum projects under our belt. The framework's honestly pretty thorough - keeps us accountable on everything from site selection to indoor air quality.
This one's tough but worth it. Super-insulated envelopes, airtight construction - these buildings basically heat themselves. Energy bills? Almost non-existent.
This focuses on human health - air quality, natural light, acoustics. Because what's the point of a green building if people feel lousy inside it?
This was a fun challenge - converting a 1970s commercial building into a net-zero residential complex. Took us 18 months but we managed to hit every target.
CLT and glulam are game-changers. Lighter than concrete, sequesters carbon, and honestly? The warmth it brings to a space is unmatched. BC's forests make this a no-brainer for us.
Solar panels are great but pairing them with battery systems? That's when things get interesting. We're seeing clients go completely off-grid in some cases.
Vancouver's climate is perfect for these. Yeah, upfront cost is higher but the efficiency gains are ridiculous - we're talking 300-400% efficiency compared to traditional HVAC.
These aren't just pretty - they insulate, manage stormwater, improve air quality, and give urban wildlife a fighting chance. Plus, clients love them.
Our first LEED certified project. Learned a ton, made mistakes, figured it out.
Got our certification, started designing with it as the baseline rather than the exception.
Completed our first net-zero building. Game changer for how we approach everything.
Every single project now meets minimum green building standards. No exceptions.
Let's talk about what's possible for your project. No greenwashing, just real solutions.
