Crafting sustainable spaces inspired by the timeless beauty of Nordic design

We're not your typical architecture firm

Look, there's plenty of architects out there. But we've spent years figuring out how to blend the clean lines and honest materials of Nordic design with the kind of sustainability that actually matters. No greenwashing, no trendy nonsense that'll look dated in five years.

Based here in Vancouver, we get the West Coast vibe - but we're bringing something different to the table. Think Scandinavian simplicity meets Pacific Northwest sensibility. It's about creating spaces that feel right, work efficiently, and honestly respect the environment around them.

Sustainable Architecture

What We Actually Do

Six core services that we've refined over the years. Each one comes from real projects, real challenges, and real solutions we've developed working with clients across BC.

Residential Design

Your home should tell your story, not ours. We'll work with you to create living spaces that actually fit how you live - with that Nordic touch that makes everything feel calm and intentional.

Commercial Architecture

Businesses need spaces that work hard without looking cold. We design commercial buildings that balance functionality with that human-centered approach Nordic design's famous for.

Sustainable Building Solutions

This isn't just slapping some solar panels on the roof. We're talking passive house principles, smart material choices, and designs that'll still make sense in 50 years.

Heritage Restoration

Old buildings have character worth preserving. We approach heritage work with respect for what's already there while making these structures viable for modern use.

Urban Planning Consultancy

Sometimes the big picture needs attention too. We consult on urban projects where our sustainable, people-first approach can shape entire neighborhoods.

Green Building Certification

We'll guide you through LEED, Passive House, or whatever certification makes sense for your project. Been through it enough times to know the shortcuts and pitfalls.

Nordic Interior

Design That's Honest

Here's the thing about Nordic design - it's not about showing off. It's about stripping away the unnecessary until you're left with something that just works. Clean lines, natural materials, tons of light. Sounds simple, right? But getting there takes real thought.

We've learned that sustainability isn't a checkbox - it's baked into every decision from day one. Which materials? How's the building oriented? What's the lifecycle gonna look like? These questions matter more than making something that looks good in a magazine.

Every project we take on starts with listening. Not nodding along while secretly planning what we think you should want, but actually hearing what matters to you. Then we figure out how to make that happen within the Nordic principles we know work.
