Projects Past and Present

As of January 2025 this project with Muskoka Community Land Trust (MCLT) is in its infancy We are so excited to be starting this journey with this fantastic group.   

​

Phase 1 of the project will be 2 no. 36 unit apartment buildings  that are inclusive, environmentally sustainable, rooted in community engagement, and affordable to the people who need them the most.

Driving the process is a sense of deep responsibility to the land, the community, the place and future generations.

"Our mission is to build homes that not only provide shelter, but also promote community health and well-being while minimizing environmental impact." (MCLT - Engagement Summary, November 2024)​

This collaboration with a local offsite manufacturing company, Grand River Modular, resulted in 420sq. ft. studio home, ideally suited as a backyard residence.

​

Working closely with skilled tradespeople and experienced offsite manufacturing professionals was an immensely rewarding experience. Offsite construction offers numerous advantages, including enhanced manufacturing precision, faster project timelines, climate controlled conditions that improve quality, and waste reduction.   

Four story, 50 unit condominium buildings with underground parking for a  private developer. Unit sizes range from spacious 1 bedroom to 2 bedroom + den, all flooded with natural light and with access to ample outdoor balcony space. 

Feasibility Study and sketch proposal for the relocation of a shelter for women and children  victims of domestic violence.   The original facility was making do based out of a pair of Victorian townhouses that had been altered to accommodate the service as best as they could.  When a disused city property came available it was a chance for the shelter to create it's own bespoke space.

​

It was a very different way of considering the idea of 'home' (albeit temporary). The safety and security of the residents was of utmost importance. ​​
