Forgotten spaces waiting for vision
Transformed into community assets
We don't just design buildings - we resurrect neighborhoods that everyone else gave up on.
Look, cities have bones. Old factories, forgotten warehouses, buildings that time forgot. Most folks see problems - we see potential. For over a decade, we've been turning Toronto's discarded spaces into places people actually want to be.
We salvage and repurpose existing materials wherever possible. That century-old brick? It's staying. Those timber beams? They've got stories to tell.
From brownfields to mixed-use hubs, we've turned dozens of write-offs into thriving community spaces across the GTA.
Every neighborhood's got its own vibe. We don't cookie-cutter anything - what works in Liberty Village won't fly in Leslieville.
Projects that went from "tear it down" to "can't believe that's the same place"
Turned a derelict 1920s garment factory into 47 loft units and ground-floor maker spaces. The neighbors actually thank us now.
View ProjectWe'd love to hear about it. Sometimes the toughest projects end up being the most rewarding. Let's grab coffee and talk about what's possible.
Every site's different, but our process stays consistent. We dig deep into the history, talk to the community, and figure out what the building wants to be. Yeah, that sounds weird, but spend enough time in old structures and you'll know what we mean.
We investigate everything - structural condition, environmental issues, heritage status, and what the place used to be.
We actually listen to the people who live nearby. They know what their neighborhood needs better than any consultant.
New elements that complement the old. We're not trying to fake history or erase it - just add the next chapter.
We stick around through construction and beyond. These buildings should last another century at least.
"The best projects happen when you respect what came before while imagining what could be."
