Look, we're not gonna pretend we've got all the answers. But after fifteen years of watching buildings go up and down across Toronto, we've learned that good architecture doesn't have to trash the planet. Actually, it shouldn't.
Here's what we've actually managed to pull off in our projects. Real numbers, no fluff.
vs. conventional builds
through smart systems
from landfills
sourced within 800km
We've earned these through actual work, not just paperwork
tonnes CO2 reduced across all 2025 projects
It's not rocket science, just thoughtful design backed by decent engineering and a bit of common sense.
We're talking solar integration where it makes sense, geothermal when the ground cooperates, and high-efficiency HVAC that doesn't sound like a jet engine. Every building's different, so we design accordingly.
Rainwater harvesting for irrigation, low-flow fixtures that actually work, and greywater systems when the client's up for it. Toronto gets enough rain that we might as well use it properly.
Local suppliers, recycled content, FSC-certified wood when we can get it. We also save original materials during heritage restorations - that 100-year-old brick's probably better than anything new anyway.
Triple-glazed windows, proper insulation, airtight construction. Sounds basic but you'd be surprised how many buildings still leak like sieves. We test everything before the drywall goes up.

We're not perfect, but we're trying to get better. Here's what's on our radar for the next few years.
Whether you're planning a new high-rise or trying to breathe new life into an old building, we'd love to chat about making it perform better. No pressure, no sales pitch - just honest conversation about what's possible.
