What We've Been Up To

Here's a look at some spaces we've helped bring to life. Each project started as sketches on napkins (sometimes literally) and ended up as places where people actually live, work, and hang out. We're pretty proud of how they turned out.

The Leslieville Loft Transformation

This one was a challenge - old warehouse space that'd been sitting empty for years. The clients wanted something open but not cold, industrial but livable. We kept the original brick and beams 'cause honestly they were too good to cover up.

Timeline Breakdown:
  • Month 1-2: Demo and structural assessment
  • Month 3-5: Main construction phase
  • Month 6-7: Interior finishes and millwork
  • Month 8: Final touches and move-in

Square Footage: 2,400 sq ft
Location: Toronto, ON

Queen West Cafe Redesign

The owners came to us frustrated - they had great coffee but the space felt stuck in 2005. We opened things up, brought in natural light (lots of it), and created this flow that makes sense for both morning rush and afternoon laptop crowd.

Rosedale Family Home Addition

Sometimes you don't need to move - you just need to think differently about the space you've got.

Rosedale home before
Before: Cramped & Outdated

The original footprint wasn't cutting it for a growing family. Dark kitchen, separate dining room nobody used, and a backyard connection that didn't exist.

After: Open & Connected

We added 600 sq ft at the back - kitchen flows into dining, glass doors blur the line between inside and out. Now they actually use the whole house.

How It Went Down:
01

Design & Permits

6 weeks of back-and-forth with the city

02

Foundation Work

3 weeks digging and pouring

03

Construction Phase

12 weeks building it out

04

Finishing Touches

4 weeks making it perfect

Liberty Village Tech Office

Tech startup needed space that didn't feel like a tech startup - you know, avoiding the ping pong table cliche. We focused on flexibility, acoustic zones for focus work, and collaborative areas that actually get used.

Timeline: 14 weeks from empty shell to move-in

Challenge: Noise control in open plan

Solution: Strategic acoustic panels and zoning

The High Park Eco-Home

Residential | Sustainable | 2021

This project was about proving that sustainable doesn't mean sacrificing style or comfort. Passive solar design, triple-glazed windows, geothermal heating - all the good stuff wrapped in a package that looks like a home, not a science experiment.

Got a Project in Mind?

Whether it's a complete overhaul or just figuring out how to make a space work better, we'd love to chat about it. No pressure, no sales pitch - just honest conversation about what's possible.

Every project starts with listening. We'll ask questions, sketch ideas, and figure out if we're the right fit for what you're trying to do.
