Architectural Design
Architecture is all about people. Let us help you design your best life.
-
Hygge Architecture approaches every design with two main lines of thought: efficiency and maximizing potential. As robotic as that may sound, that’s actually how music is made. A simple design harmony requires rigorous analysis and strategizing to reign in all the variables and random notes that are earthquaking towards a jumbled mess in budget, in its execution, and its spatial design. The simplest solutions are timeless; they don’t happen by accident … they happen via purpose and deftness.
Let’s design your real estate asset together so it can sing in both your heart and market appreciation. A cozy blanket is always nice, but a cozy blanket that increases your wealth is much better.

Feasibility Studies
Show us what property you’re interested in, we’ll be your architectural due diligence.
-
A lot of projects go off course from the very beginning. An inadequate budget based on inadequate space, time, and constraint estimations means ice-skating uphill for the rest of the project with weak defenses against possible costly change orders and schedule delays. We pride ourselves on thoroughly looking at a problem from as many angles as possible to maximize the chances of success. The best person to bring to the ideas table at the beginning is actually the person who is always brought in to finish projects whether to make a cardboard model reality or save the sinking ships. Accumulation of lessons learned is actually the best artist for feasibility studies. And when the beginning is good, the rest just sings.

Tarion Warranty Assistance
In the cooling-off period of buying a new home? Don’t drive without a windshield, let us help.
-
Ontario mandates a new home warranty protection program for all new homes; the program is run and operated by Tarion. Normally, new homeowners navigate through this process on their own. But, why would you? If you’re feeling sick, you go to the doctor. If you’ve got a legal issue, you go to a lawyer. Why wouldn’t you use an architect to help you with your new home and be your scrapper to protect your interests against the developer?
The beginning is the most important: the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS), the Pre-delivery Inspection (PDI), and the 30-day warranty form. Real estate lawyers won’t see the conflicts relative to building design and specifications, they’ll be focused on the legal language of the APS. Let us review the architectural language before you sign on the dotted line. Also, who better to be your Designate for a PDI than an architect with talents for spotting deficiencies like a hawk? This is an exclusive and premium service meant to protect your biggest investment.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control Assistance
Massive public sector infrastructure design problems? Get a surgical QAQC review from a proven compliance specialist and discipline coordinator on complex facilities.
-
While our Principal architect has retired from working full-time in the Public Sector Infrastructure design sector, his vast wealth of knowledge and skills as a chronic key individual in Public-Private Partnership projects and pursuits as well as Public Transportation is still available. As the keystone bridge between the project’s design spirit, technical architectural detailing, discipline coordination, and the many layers of project requirements, a peer review brings the value by finding ways towards a more harmonious and unified design solution. There’s a reason why he was always positioned into a central role on these massive projects. And a reason why he was the default discipline coordination QAQC reviewer for literally billions of dollars of project work. Find out why.
