Our Planet, Our Responsibility

We're not just talking about sustainability—we're living it. Every project, every decision, every design choice reflects our commitment to the environment.

Real Impact, Real Numbers

Look, we could throw around fancy terms all day, but what really matters is what we've actually accomplished. Here's where we stand as of October 2025.

How We're Actually Doing This

Honestly? It's taken years to get our approach right. We've learned that sustainability isn't some checklist you complete—it's baked into everything from the first sketch to the final handover.

Passive Design First

We're obsessed with orientation, natural ventilation, and thermal mass. Less mechanical systems means less energy consumption—pretty straightforward when you think about it.

Material Transparency

We know where every major material comes from and what its carbon footprint is. Started doing this in 2021 and it's changed how we specify everything.

Life-Cycle Thinking

A building's impact doesn't end at construction. We're designing for adaptability, deconstruction, and what happens in 50+ years.

Our Certifications & Accreditations

Yeah, we've got the paperwork to back it up. These aren't just plaques on the wall—they're commitments we take seriously.

LEED AP BD+C

Got three certified professionals on our team. We've been doing LEED projects since 2018 and have delivered 14 certified buildings so far.

Active Since 2018

Passive House

Certified designer on staff. The Passive House standard is brutal but worth it—our PH projects use 90% less heating energy than conventional builds.

Certified 2020

CaGBC Member

Canada Green Building Council member. Keeps us plugged into the latest green building practices and connects us with other folks doing this work.

Member Since 2017

WELL AP

Because sustainability isn't just about the planet—it's about the people inside the buildings. Health and wellness matter just as much as energy performance.

Accredited 2022

Net Zero Carbon

We're a signatory to the CaGBC's Net Zero Carbon Buildings commitment. All our new projects target operational carbon neutrality by 2030.

Committed 2023

Living Building

Currently working toward our first Living Building Challenge project. It's the toughest green building standard out there—wish us luck.

In Progress

What We're Working On Next

We're not claiming to have it all figured out. There's always more to learn, more to improve. Here's what we're focused on right now:

Embodied Carbon Reduction

Operational energy gets a lot of attention, but the carbon locked up in materials is huge. We're targeting a 40% reduction in embodied carbon by 2027.

62% toward goal
Biodiversity Integration

We're experimenting with biodiverse green roofs and native landscaping that actually supports local ecosystems. Early results are promising.

45% toward goal
Circular Economy Design

Designing buildings that can be easily disassembled and have their materials reused. It's complicated but necessary.

33% toward goal
Green architecture integrated with nature

The Honest Truth

Sustainable architecture isn't easy. It costs more upfront, takes longer to design, and requires everyone involved to give a damn. But we're seeing clients who get it—who understand that doing things right today means their buildings won't be liabilities tomorrow.

We've made mistakes along the way. Had projects where we didn't hit our targets. Specified materials that looked great on paper but didn't perform. That's part of the process. What matters is that we keep pushing forward.
