We're not just drawing buildings - we're weaving stories of the past into spaces that'll serve generations ahead.
Sustainable isn't a checkbox for us - it's how we've been thinking since day one.
From Queen West to the waterfront, we're reimagining how our city lives and breathes.
But here's the thing - loving heritage doesn't mean we're stuck in the past. It means we know how to make those century-old bones work with today's tech and tomorrow's climate realities.
Started back in 2012, Jade Vronthal Quinth has been working the streets of Toronto ever since. We've restored Victorian facades that looked ready to crumble, designed commercial spaces that cut energy use by half, and helped developers understand why knocking everything down isn't always the smart play.
Our team's got the credentials (yeah, we went to school), but more importantly, we've got the scars. The lessons learned from projects that didn't go to plan. The relationships with heritage committees who've seen every trick. The contractors who actually return our calls.

From laneway houses to full custom homes, we design spaces where real people actually want to live - not just photograph.
Retail, office, mixed-use - we've done the math on what makes commercial spaces actually work for tenants and owners alike.
Our bread and butter. Bringing century-old structures up to code without losing what makes them special in the first place.
Not sure how to hit your green targets? We'll walk you through passive systems, material choices, and what's actually worth the investment.
Zoning, density, community impact - we help developers navigate the bureaucracy and create projects neighborhoods won't hate.
Making sure the inside works as hard as the outside. Flow, function, and yeah - how it feels when you're actually in there.
Look, we've been doing this long enough to remember when "green building" was considered niche. Now? It's just called "building responsibly."
Every project that leaves our studio has been stress-tested for energy performance, material lifecycle, and long-term adaptability. We don't slap solar panels on things and call it a day - though yeah, sometimes solar panels make total sense.
What matters more: orientation, envelope performance, natural ventilation, daylighting strategies. The stuff that costs nothing extra if you think about it from day one, but costs a fortune to retrofit later.
And heritage work? That's sustainability by definition. The greenest building is the one that's already standing.
