Current Projects

Passive House Forest Retreat – Pemberton

This season, we had the opportunity to collaborate with photographers Ema Peter and Tina Kulic at the Passive House Forest Retreat in Pemberton. Surrounded by mountain air and dense forest, the shoot captured the retreat’s quiet integration with its natural setting and the precision of its sustainable design. Through their lenses, the space comes alive, balancing warmth, restraint, and a deep respect for place. We’re excited to share these moments and the vision they reflect.

Oceanfront – Squamish

Set along the Squamish coastline, this mixed-use development brings together residential and commercial spaces to create a vibrant, connected community.
