Designing structures that dance with nature's storms
We've spent years watching how wind and water shape the coast. That's taught us something most architects miss - you don't fight a storm, you flow with it.

Building where others hesitate
Every design withstands real weather
From homes to commercial spaces
Forget the fancy jargon. We design buildings that'll still be standing when the next big storm rolls through. Been doing it for years along BC's wild coastline.
Your home shouldn't just look good - it needs to handle whatever the Pacific throws at it. We've figured out how to make that happen without compromising on style or comfort.
Commercial spaces on the coast? Yeah, we've done plenty. From seaside restaurants to office complexes that actually embrace their location instead of hiding from it.
You can't just plop a building on the coast and hope for the best. We work with the land, the water patterns, and the wind to find what actually works long-term.
This is where years of coastal experience really pays off. We know which materials hold up, which designs shed wind properly, and what'll still look great after a decade of salt spray.
Sustainability isn't just a checkbox for us. We'll walk you through the certification process and design something that's genuinely good for the environment.
Got an old coastal building that's seen better days? We specialize in bringing historic structures up to modern standards without losing what made them special in the first place.
There's something satisfying about taking a century-old building and making it storm-ready for the next hundred years. It's about respecting what came before while being honest about what needs to change.
See Restoration ProjectsHonestly, most architects don't get it. Building on the coast isn't like building anywhere else.
We're talking constant pressure, day after day. Your building needs to handle it without creaking, leaking, or falling apart. That takes specific design knowledge.
Seriously, the salt air will destroy standard materials in a few years. We use stuff that's proven to last - not what looks good in a catalogue.
Rain, spray, humidity, fog - it's all working to get inside your walls. Our designs account for this from the foundation up.
You're building here for a reason - that ocean view. We make sure you can enjoy it while staying protected from what comes with it.
We start by actually visiting your site. Yeah, seems obvious, but you'd be surprised how many architects try to design from their office.
We'll walk the property, watch how the wind moves, check the sun patterns, and figure out where water naturally flows. Then we design something that works with all of that.
Every project gets tested against real storm data from the area. If it wouldn't survive the worst storm we've recorded, it doesn't get built. Simple as that.
The result? Buildings that age gracefully, handle whatever weather comes, and still look amazing twenty years down the road.
