Designing resilient structures for harsh northern environments
We've spent the last decade figuring out what actually works when winter hits hard. Not the glossy magazine stuff - real buildings that keep people warm, cut energy bills, and don't fall apart when it's -30 outside.
You can't just slap extra insulation on a standard design and call it winter-ready. Trust me, we've seen what happens when architects treat Canadian winters as an afterthought.
Every building faces thermal bridging, moisture control, and heat loss. But up north? These aren't just efficiency problems - they're structural integrity issues. We design from the ground up with one goal: make it last through whatever winter throws at it.
Our projects in Northern Ontario have weathered ice storms, deep freezes, and everything between. That's not luck - it's understanding how materials behave when temperatures swing 40 degrees in a day.
Forget the jargon. Here's what you get when you work with us - practical solutions backed by years of dealing with Canada's toughest climates.
We design buildings that work with the environment, not against it. Lower heating costs, better air quality, and structures that'll still be standing strong in 50 years.
Already got plans? We'll review them and tell you exactly what's gonna fail when winter hits. Better to know now than after the first big storm.
Residential projects that cut heating bills without sacrificing comfort. We've helped homeowners reduce energy costs by 40% or more through smart design choices.
Warehouses, offices, retail spaces - commercial buildings have different needs. We make sure your operations don't grind to a halt when temps drop.
Old buildings weren't designed for modern efficiency standards, but that doesn't mean we can't upgrade them. Preserve the character, improve the performance.
Need LEED or other certifications? We know the process inside out and can guide your project through the requirements without the usual headaches.
Our portfolio includes projects from Toronto to Yellowknife. Each one taught us something new about what works and what doesn't when you're building where winter actually means something.
We don't do cookie-cutter designs. Every site has different wind patterns, solar exposure, and soil conditions. That's why we spend time on-site before we start drawing - you can't design for -40 from behind a desk.
