We are a dedicated professional consulting practice providing services in design, architecture, planning, and building science. The practice was founded on a dedication to design excellence uncompromised by the implementation of appropriate state of the art building systems and technology, delivered on time and on budget. Beyond the theoretical aspects of our design process we also focus on the more pragmatic issues which deal with the business and economics of building.

Our design attitudes draw from the richness and vitality of Toronto. We understand its diverse cultural context and direction as well as being sympathetic to its varied expressions. This regional understanding is tempered by years of global experiences, study and relationships.

We recognize that the inherent complexity of architecture demands the collaboration of experts who possess common goals and objectives. This mandate is achieved through established strategic alliances tailored to each individual project. Our local and international network of expert consultants insures effective decision-making resulting in solutions, which stand the test of time. This inclusive attitude is also evident in our relationships with the building industry from its manufacturers to its craftsmen.

Working closely with our clients in order to understand their needs is crucial to our process of design. We listen carefully and respond effectively. To facilitate this, open lines of communication are clearly established immediately. A principal will be assigned to work directly with the client and coordinate the project team. The necessary specialist consultants are quickly identified and introduced into the process at the conceptual stage. A senior staff member and specific support staff will also be assigned to the project so that continuity of communication will be maintained throughout the entire process.

Architectural competitions and academic venues provide the testing ground for progressive thought and concepts. Once tested the successful experiments allow future possibilities to materialize. In order for us to be truly current we look to the future within the context of the past and present.
