Four years ago, we acquired a 40-year-old predecessor firm, and established the first architectural worker co-operative in Ontario, with employee continuity spanning a decade.

We saw an opportunity to revolutionize traditional architectural practice, breaking free from hierarchy and disconnectedness to embrace a project-centric culture of collaboration.

We asked ourselves: what could be achieved with a co-operative?

The answer was clear. The foundational legislative framework of worker co-operatives, coupled with established co-operative values and principles, set the stage for us to care for projects as if they were our own. We treat each project as unique, assembling a tailored team, allocating resources, and defining objectives. Our commitment is to continually innovate our practice while never losing sight of a project's greater context.

We are not in the business of carrying out conventional, performative architectural services. Instead, we champion enduring and thoughtful architecture that delights and brings joy to the community. We are community builders and stewards of positive change.
