Here's the thing about waterfront architecture - you can't just slap a building on the shore and call it good. The coast has its own rhythm, its own way of doing things.
We've been designing along BC's coastline long enough to know that every site tells a different story. Tides change, weather shifts, and your building needs to handle it all while looking damn good and treading lightly on the environment.
More About UsFrom private residences to commercial marinas, we bring together design sense and environmental responsibility.
Your home on the water shouldn't feel like it's fighting against nature. We design spaces that embrace coastal living while respecting what was there before.
Marinas need to be functional, period. But they can also be beautiful and sustainable. We've figured out how to make all three work together.
Green building isn't just a checkbox for us. It's about creating structures that'll be around for generations without wrecking the coastline in the process.
Before we draw a single line, we spend time with your site. Understanding soil conditions, water movement, and sun patterns - that's where good design starts.
We'll help you navigate LEED and other certifications. Yeah, there's paperwork, but we've done it enough times to make the process pretty straightforward.
Building by the water means dealing with erosion, tides, and storms. We work with engineers who actually get it to keep your project safe and sound.
Every waterfront project we've completed has taught us something new. Take a look at how we've helped clients turn challenging coastal sites into spaces they actually want to be in.
Browse PortfolioLook, we're designing right on the edge where land meets water. If we're not thinking about environmental impact from day one, we're doing it wrong.
That means working with natural drainage patterns instead of against them. It means choosing materials that'll last in a harsh coastal environment. And yeah, it means sometimes telling clients that their initial idea needs a rethink.
We've been at this long enough to know what works on BC's coast and what's just gonna cause problems down the line.
Our Sustainability PracticesWe'd love to hear what you're thinking. Whether it's just an idea or you've got plans ready to go, let's chat about how we can make it work with the coast, not against it.
