    We’re excited to be working on a modest 3,500 sq/ft new build home on Georgian Bay. The client is keen to maintain a simple silhouette and so this was one of three initial schemes presented, exploring two extruded two storey elements connected by a single story breezeway/dining area. We look forward to sharing the progress on this project over the coming months…

Whilst these renderings look completely resolved the reality is that they’re still very preliminary, but with the use of our relatively new 3D software (Twinmotion) we’re able to convey some pretty high level concepts in a lot of detail. …

    We’re really excited to announce the completion of our Queen West Residence.

We look forward to sharing final photographs of the interior and exterior shortly!
