We're not your typical architecture firm. We blend the raw honesty of industrial design with heritage craftsmanship that's stood the test of time.
Look, there's something special about Vancouver's industrial past - those warehouses, foundries, and factories that shaped our city. We've made it our mission to keep that spirit alive while pushing steel and modern design into new territory.
Whether it's breathing new life into a century-old brick building or designing a contemporary structure that speaks the language of industry, we approach every project like craftsmen at a forge - with respect for materials, attention to detail, and a bit of creative fire.
More About UsSix core services that've kept us busy for years, each one demanding its own blend of technical know-how and creative problem-solving
Creating functional spaces that don't sacrifice character. We design warehouses, workshops, and facilities that workers actually enjoy being in.
There's real craftsmanship in those old buildings. We preserve what matters while making them work for modern needs - it's a delicate balance.
Steel's our favourite material - honest, strong, and versatile. We've pushed it in directions that surprise even seasoned engineers.
Building smart means building for the long haul. We integrate green tech without making it feel like you're walking through a science exhibit.
Sometimes the details make the project. We work with skilled fabricators to create custom elements that add soul to a structure.

A handful of builds that kept us on our toes. Each one came with its own challenges and taught us something new.

Exposed steel meets coastal views
Vancouver's got this amazing industrial backbone that's slowly disappearing. Every time an old brick warehouse gets torn down for condos, we lose a piece of what made this city interesting.
We've spent years figuring out how to honor these structures while making them work for today's needs. It's not always easy - old buildings have quirks - but that's part of the charm.
