It's been woven into everything we do since day one. We've spent years figuring out how to make buildings that don't just look good but actually work with the environment instead of against it.
Some studios toss around words like "eco-friendly" without much backup. We'd rather show you the actual data – the energy savings, the carbon reductions, the materials we've kept out of landfills.
And honestly? We're still learning. Every project teaches us something new about pushing these limits further.

We've got team members with LEED AP credentials and we've guided 12 projects to LEED Gold or higher.
Three of our residential projects have achieved Passive House certification – which is no joke in terms of energy efficiency standards.
Active members of the Canada Green Building Council since 2018. We're part of the conversations shaping green building policy in Canada.
We don't wait till the end to think about energy. Every design gets run through simulation software early on so we can tweak things before they're set in stone.
We track where materials come from, how they're made, and what happens when the building's eventually demolished. It's tedious but worth it.
When possible, we work with suppliers within 500km. Less transportation = lower carbon footprint, plus it supports local economies.
Solar's getting cheaper and better every year. We've integrated PV systems into 80% of our projects over the last two years.
The Waterfront Commons – a commercial building we completed in 2023
Annual energy costs reduced by $47,000 compared to code-minimum design
Rainwater harvesting system + low-flow fixtures save 620,000 liters yearly
340 tonnes of construction waste recycled or repurposed instead of landfilled
100% VOC-compliant paints and finishes
CO2 sensors throughout with demand-controlled ventilation keeping air fresh without wasting energy
We're not perfect yet, but here's where we're pushing ourselves
We're aiming for all our new builds to be net-zero energy by 2028. That's ambitious, yeah, but we're already at 65% energy reduction on average. The tech's getting there and so are we.
We're partnering with material scientists to test alternatives – like mycelium insulation and reclaimed timber structures. Some of it's experimental, but that's how progress happens.
We're developing digital twins for all our projects – real-time monitoring of energy, water, and air quality. The data helps us fine-tune performance and learn for the next build.
Transparency matters. For every project, we provide clients with detailed sustainability reports showing exactly how the building performs. No greenwashing, no vague claims – just measurable results.
