Honestly, there's something special about walking into a century-old factory that's been sitting empty for decades. The bones are usually still solid - they built things to last back then.
What we do is take those industrial relics and turn 'em into spaces people actually want to work, live, and hang out in. But here's the thing - we don't just slap some drywall up and call it done. We dig into the history, respect what was there, and make sure whatever we build is gonna stick around for another hundred years.
Learn Our StorySpent years figuring out how to do this right. These are the services we've gotten pretty damn good at.
We've worked on everything from old textile mills to abandoned breweries. Each one's got its own quirks, and that's what makes it interesting.
Green building isn't just about checking boxes for LEED. It's about making smart choices that save money and actually work for the long haul.
Turning old warehouses and factories into modern spaces - offices, lofts, mixed-use developments. That's our bread and butter right there.
Need help navigating LEED or other green certifications? We've been through the process enough times to know the shortcuts and pitfalls.
Sometimes you need someone who understands how your project fits into the bigger picture of a neighborhood. That's where we come in.
The unglamorous part - detailed drawings, specs, permits. But it's gotta be done right or the whole thing falls apart.
Look, every building's different, so there's no one-size-fits-all approach. But we've developed a pretty solid process over the years.
What do you actually need? What's the building's story? What's realistic with your budget and timeline? Gotta get that straight before we put pencil to paper.
For heritage work, we spend time researching what the building was, how it was used, what materials they used. Sometimes you find cool stuff in old archives that shapes the whole design.
We're not here to win design awards - though that's nice when it happens. We're here to create spaces that work well and respect their roots.
Construction phase is where things get real. We stay involved to make sure what we designed actually gets built the way it should.
This city's got an incredible industrial past - factories, warehouses, manufacturing spaces that helped build Canada. A lot of that stuff is just sitting there, crumbling away.
Instead of tearing everything down and starting from scratch, why not use what's already there? Those old buildings have character you just can't replicate with new construction. Plus, reusing existing structures is way more sustainable than demolition and new builds.

We're right in the heart of King West - used to be all garment factories around here. Now it's one of the hottest neighborhoods in the city, and yeah, we had a hand in some of those conversions.
Toronto's our home base, but we've done projects across Ontario and into other provinces too. Heritage industrial buildings aren't unique to one city - they're everywhere, and they all deserve a second chance.
If you've got an old building that needs some love, or you're thinking about adaptive reuse, give us a shout. We'd love to take a look and see what's possible.
