Waterfront Architecture

Where Innovation
Meets the Shoreline

Crafting spaces that respect the water and weather the test of time

Design Process

We're not your typical firm

Look, we've spent over two decades working where the land meets water. That's taught us things you can't learn from textbooks - like how salt air changes everything, or why your grandfather's dock lasted 60 years while the new one down the bay is already showing its age.

Based right here on Marine Drive, we wake up to the same tides and weather patterns you do. We've designed everything from family homes perched on rocky outcrops to working marinas that handle whatever the Pacific throws at them. And yeah, we're kinda obsessed with making sure these buildings are still standing strong for your grandkids.

Sustainability isn't a marketing thing for us - it's just how you build properly when you respect the coast.

More About Our Approach
Marina Development

Commercial Marina Development

We've planned and designed working marinas across BC's coastline - spaces that balance functionality with environmental responsibility. Every project considers tidal patterns, marine life, and the reality of running a business on the water.

What we actually do

Six core services, refined over years of coastal work. Each one informed by real projects and actual conditions.

Residential Waterfront Homes

Building homes that capture views without fighting the elements. We've learned the hard way what works and what doesn't when you're this close to salt water.

Commercial Marina Development

From concept to launch, we handle the whole process - including all the regulatory stuff that makes waterfront development so interesting.

Sustainable Building Design

Passive solar, thermal mass, natural ventilation - techniques that've been working for centuries, just applied with modern understanding and materials.

Urban Planning & Zoning

Navigating coastal regulations is its own skillset. We know the bylaws, the environmental constraints, and how to work within them creatively.

Heritage Building Restoration

Old waterfront buildings have stories worth preserving. We update them for modern use while keeping what made them special in the first place.

Environmental Impact Assessment

Understanding how your project affects the shoreline ecosystem isn't optional - it's fundamental to responsible coastal development.

Rooted in West Vancouver

Our office on Marine Drive isn't just an address - it's where we live and work daily. We know these shores, these weather patterns, and the unique challenges of building along BC's coast.

When you work with us, you're working with people who understand that "waterfront property" in this region means dealing with winter storms, king tides, and a regulatory environment that takes marine ecosystems seriously.
