Built Stories

Every project's got its own personality, really. Some were smooth sailing, others kept us up thinking through details. Here's what we've been pouring our energy into - the spaces that started as napkin sketches and turned into something real.

Rosedale Modern Residence
Featured Project

Rosedale Modern Residence

This one was a challenge we loved tackling. The clients wanted ultra-modern but couldn't shake their love for natural materials - which, honestly? That tension created something pretty special. We ended up with this interplay between concrete, steel, and these massive cedar panels that warm everything up.

Mixed-use development, 2022

Redefining Urban Workspace

We didn't want another glass box, y'know? The developer was open to experimenting, so we played with these staggered floor plates that actually create outdoor terraces at different levels. People working there can step outside without going to ground level - seems small, but it changes how you experience a workday.

Muskoka Lake House

A weekend retreat that doesn't scream "look at me" - we tucked it into the landscape, used local stone, and made sure every room has a sightline to the water. Honestly, it's where I'd want to spend my Fridays.

Queen West Bistro

The owner wanted "cozy but not cramped" in 1,200 square feet. We played with ceiling heights, added these custom bronze mirrors, and suddenly the space breathes. Plus the kitchen's actually functional, which chefs seem to appreciate.

Liberty Village Townhomes

Six units that don't look cookie-cutter. Each one's got its own character while keeping the overall vibe cohesive. The brick detailing alone took weeks to figure out, but that's what makes them interesting.

King East Loft Conversion

Old warehouse, exposed everything, but it needed to feel like home not just look industrial-chic. We kept the rough edges - the brick, the beams - but softened things with walnut millwork and better lighting. Now it's got that raw character without feeling like you're camping in a factory.

How We Actually Work

No two projects follow the exact same path, but here's generally how things unfold when we team up.

1

Discovery

We sit down, talk about what you're actually trying to achieve. Not just the Pinterest board stuff, but how you live or work.

2

Concept

Sketches, models, renders - whatever helps you see where we're heading. This is where we figure out if we're on the same page.

3

Refinement

Details, materials, finishes. We're working through everything from structural stuff to which door handle feels right.

4

Realization

Construction, coordination, problem-solving. We're on site regularly making sure what gets built matches what we designed.
