A complex custom residence defined by restrained material expression, frameless transitions, and precisely coordinated architectural details. The project required close collaboration with the construction manager, structural and mechanical engineers, envelope consultant, glazing specialists, steel fabricators, and concrete and masonry trades. Particular attention was given to structural integration, envelope continuity, concealed building systems, exact brick coursing, and the translation of minimal design intent into constructible site conditions. Currently under construction, with completion anticipated in late 2026.

PB Bakery is the first Canadian flagship location for an international bakery brand from South Korea, located on Bloor Street in downtown Toronto.

A former auto shop transformed into a pasta workshop and restaurant, requiring careful coordination between existing site conditions, back-of-house production, and front-of-house dining. The project balances operational efficiency with an intimate and refined hospitality experience.

The work supported architectural coordination and visualization — helping communicate how two brick tonalities, product displays, circulation, and the existing historic brick walls come together as a cohesive showroom experience.

A workplace interior within a historic Toronto building, using lighting, circulation, and material coordination to connect private offices with shared working areas while responding to existing site and flooring conditions.

A minimal architectural language within a traditional residential context in London, Ontario. The project required clear design documentation to communicate contemporary massing, spatial organization, and material restraint while remaining sensitive to the surrounding neighbourhood character.

The Missing Piece proposes the transformation of a publicly owned city golf course in East York into an infrastructure park and public landscape. The project addresses a missing connection in the eastern ravine network by restoring pedestrian access, ecological movement, and public services — exploring how underused public land can support social infrastructure, community access, and habitat continuity within the city.
