Commercial Architecture
We've designed private schools, golf clubs, wineries, and more. These are spaces that carry a lot of expectation — they need to function for many people over many years, and still feel welcoming.
Commercial work demands a different kind of rigour. We're built for it.
SCHOOL c11.10
Two forms meeting — traditional red brick schoolhouse and contemporary addition in vertical barn board siding. Playful colour accents where they count. Windows and shapes designed to pull natural light through the hallways. Old and new, in confident conversation.
SCHOOL c06.50
SCHOOL c17.25
A conceptual proposal for a contemporary addition to a heritage school in Oakville. The design doesn't attempt to reconcile old and new by softening either — instead it leans into the contrast, letting the two architectures speak clearly in their own languages while finding the moments where they meet with simplicity and elegance. The juxtaposition is the idea. And it works.
WINERY c12.54
Sandhill Winery in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia — a complete renovation of an existing warehouse building set within 75 kilometres of sprawling vineyard. The challenge was to take a utilitarian structure and transform it into something worthy of its surroundings. The result is a winery that holds its own against one of the most spectacular wine country landscapes in the country.
WINERY c12.30
Wayne Gretzky Estates is an iconic transitional take on a traditional barn— contemporary in material and detail, organized around a courtyard that gives the property a strong sense of arrival and enclosure. The barn form is taken seriously without being treated literally. And there's an ice rink.
GOLF CLUB c24.26
A club regeneration project rooted in a simple principle: work with what exists rather than replace it. The existing clubhouse has a strong architectural character — English in sensibility, and the new buildings are designed to perpetuate that language rather than compete with it. An evolution of the club, not a reinvention of it.
SCHOOL c24.15
Fern Hill School in Oakville was designed by Gren Weis and opened in 1990 on 10 acres in North Oakville — 35,000 square feet built around a simple belief: that children should experience a great environment, not just a great education. Floor-to-ceiling windows, large playing fields, original works of art, and light-filled hallways have defined the campus for over three decades.
Now the same studio is bringing it forward for a new generation. The renovation focuses on the specialty classrooms — art, science, and music — as well as general learning spaces throughout. Functional storage, new furniture, and a warm, considered palette that makes each space feel purposeful and alive.

TOWNHOMES c20.03
HI-RISE RESIDENTIAL c16.43
A high-rise residential building reimagined from the outside in. Rather than a conventional refresh, the concept introduces architectural elements — screens, visors, and colourful accents — placed with intention to add visual interest, warmth, and genuine curb appeal. The kind of building that makes you look twice.
WINERY c18.22
RESTAURAUNT c16.09
A local restaurant and bar with a simple ambition, to lean into an industrial sensibility — raw, open, and built for movement. Garage doors fold away to blur the threshold, letting the energy of the space spill outward and the street life pour back in.
Suspended structural elements overhead add visual interest without closing the space down. The result is a venue that feels alive at every hour — open when it needs to be, dramatic when it wants to be.

SCHOOL c25.18
Sunshine Montessori School in Kitchener — a redesign built around the Montessori philosophy. Across each learning space, custom millwork organizes the environment to support independent movement and self-directed learning. A thoughtful colour palette brings warmth and energy throughout, creating classrooms that feel calm, considered, and genuinely suited to the way young children learn.
SCHOOL c346
A long-standing relationship with Linbrook School built across multiple phases of design and realized work. The scope has grown over the years to include major renovations and additions, interior redesign, and involvement in the long-term planning of the campus.
The school sits within a residential neighbourhood — and the architecture responds accordingly. Buildings designed to read as houses, fitting quietly into the street while serving the full demands of an active school campus. Sculptural sun screens double as shade structures and landmark moments, their branching forms echoing the trees around them.
A campus that continues to evolve. Familiar to the neighbourhood, distinctive on its own terms.
