Look, most architecture firms'll give you the same glass box everyone else is building. That's cool and all, but we've been obsessed with something else - what if buildings could feel like you just stepped into another realm? Not in some cheesy theme park way, but genuinely atmospheric spaces that make you stop and go "whoa."
We've spent years studying Gothic cathedrals, medieval castles, and fantasy aesthetics - then figured out how to make 'em work with modern building codes, energy efficiency, and actual livable comfort. Turns out pointed arches and vaulted ceilings aren't just pretty - they're structurally brilliant.
Whether you're after a home that feels like a wizard's tower (minus the drafts), restoring a heritage building to its former glory, or creating a commercial space that people actually remember, we're here for it.
More About UsSix core services that cover pretty much everything from sketching your dream home to saving century-old buildings from demolition.
Your home shouldn't look like everyone else's. We design residences that feel like they've got their own personality - dramatic, cozy, or somewhere in between. Turrets optional but encouraged.
Retail spaces, restaurants, boutique hotels - anywhere you want people to feel something when they walk in. We create commercial environments that tell a story and stick in people's minds.
Got an old church or Victorian building that needs love? We specialize in bringing Gothic and Gothic Revival structures back to life while respecting their original character. It's detective work meets craftsmanship.
Want your library to feel like Hogwarts or your bedroom like a castle chamber? We design interiors that transport you somewhere else entirely - all while keeping things functional for modern life.
Medieval builders knew a thing or two about working with nature. We blend time-tested techniques with cutting-edge green tech - solar panels hidden in slate roofs, geothermal systems, sustainable materials throughout.
Preserving Canada's architectural history is serious business. We work with heritage committees, historical societies, and passionate building owners to keep these structures standing for another century or three.
Here's a taste of what we've been working on lately. Each one's got its own story, its own challenges, and honestly, its own magic.
A private home in the Annex that looks like it's been there for 150 years - except it hasn't. We built this from scratch with pointed arch windows, a turret study, and hidden modern amenities everywhere. The owners wanted "Victorian Gothic meets smart home" and yeah, we delivered.
Residential
This 1880s church in Cabbagetown was nearly condemned. We spent two years restoring the stonework, rebuilding the rose window, and converting the interior into a stunning community arts center. Kept every original detail we could save, recreated what we couldn't.
Heritage ConservationWe're based right here in Toronto, and we've been doing this Gothic-fantasy thing for over a decade. The city's got amazing heritage architecture that inspires us daily, and we've built relationships with craftspeople, conservation experts, and suppliers who actually get what we're trying to do.
Your vision matters more than our ego. We're here to make your dream happen, not force our ideas on you.
We know the Ontario Building Code inside out and how to make historical designs work within it. No shortcuts, no surprises.
No jargon, no hiding costs. You'll know what's happening, why it's happening, and what it'll cost from day one.
Gothic architecture can be green architecture. We prove it with every project through smart material choices and energy systems.
Whether you've got detailed plans or just a vague feeling that you want something different, let's talk. First consultation's on us - we'll grab coffee, look at your site or building, and figure out if we're the right fit for your project.
