Why We're Here
Look, I started this practice back in 2009 because I got tired of designing buildings that'd just consume energy like there's no tomorrow. Spent a summer in Scandinavia seeing how they do things - passive houses, district heating, the whole deal - and came back thinking Vancouver could do way better.
We're not perfect, and we don't pretend to be. But every project we take on has to answer one question: how do we make this work with nature instead of against it? Sometimes that means geothermal, sometimes it's just smart window placement. Whatever works.
The buildings we design today will outlive us all - they better not be environmental disasters when our grandkids are dealing with them.
