— 01 Residential Design

Tailored spaces

We believe a home can be a functional and considered place to live. Designed to welcome you in the way you approach your everyday. Whether it’s a new construction, an extension or a renovation project, we design for your needs. 

 

— 02 Commercial & Workspace Design

Branded experiences

We design engaging and welcoming commercial and work environments. Commercial spaces must be easy to navigate, allowing customers to intuitively understand the flow of a space. While considering work environments, we put the daily needs of the people in those locations at the centre of our design.

 

— 03 Furniture and Objects

Design for everyday life

To create the perfect space where all elements work together, it’s best to craft made-to-measure pieces. By building the custom-made objects and furnishings ourselves, we ensure that the design is holistic and thoughtful. As a result, every piece performs both its practical function and fits the aesthetic of the space.

McGill 38 Penthouse

A sound studio home office, an open concept bathroom with built-in bar — home isn’t the same for everyone. To center design on a human based scale is to understand their needs, their day-to-day, the dynamics of their lives, their personal history and their aspirations.

What feels soothing and inspiring? How can your space feel more intuitive?

Melk Coffee Bar

Atypical, difficult space makes Melk Coffee Bar project a real design-thinking challenge, a balancing act between necessity and aesthetics.

Not only was this project a design-thinking tightrope walk between necessity and aesthetics, but it was also a reminder of how much thought can go into aspects of design that people might overlook. Find out more.

Scrap Series

The idea behind the Scraps Series Coffee Tables goes beyond reducing waste in the industry. It seeks to impart a sense of nobility to the debris that is often left behind.

Working with Atelier B, our combined design, materials, and finishing knowhow resulted in a series of unique pieces. Concrete, asphalt, marble and natural stone scraps too small to be used otherwise were cut, polished and sealed before being fitted with their own custom steel seat rails and legs.

Our Approach

 

Project management

From ideation to the selection of finishes and materials to final delivery, we oversee projects from end-to-end. We bring consideration to each detail, including communication — it’s an integral part of all our relationships. We approach our process with generosity by sharing our knowledge, supporting our clients through all phases of design and construction.

Design-build

As designers and builders with extensive experience on building sites, we are thoroughly familiar with the latest materials and innovative construction practices. We understand the challenges facing each trade and work closely with suppliers and tradespeople to ensure the integrity of the design and the materials used in our construction.

To each project, we bring a refreshing collaboration enabling us to build trust every step of the way.

Solutions for every ideas

We aim to create a transparent dialogue around design, architecture and construction.

Whether you want to discuss the construction or renovation of a city home or country house, are thinking about refurbishing your office, need an inspiring rebrand for your commercial space, or simply want to chat about the beauty of salvaged concrete — we’re always happy to talk.

No matter the idea, we bring our hands-on expertise and design thinking to projects big and small(ish).
