The market is crowded out there. Excite your target audience, whether you’re aiming to sell out a project, or just stand out from the crowd.
Make your project both immediately marketable and appealing in the long run with thoughtful, sensitive design.
Working closely with the project team, we’ll create an impactful powerful design, coherent and coordinated with the rest of the project.
Projects can be complicated. We’ll help you negotiate the increasingly-complex review process by always designing to meet the criteria of city planners.
If there are difficulties, we’ll work with the right parties and communicate the issues concisely and clearly for quick resolutions.
Today, information overload is the norm. We aim to strike a balance. We’ll give you what you need, when you need it, how you need it.
Your time is valuable – we will only engage you as much as you prefer so you can focus on everything else. We respect schedules and will be done on time and on budget.
If something can’t be achieved as originally expected, we will let you know. We always consider what is appropriate for a project – both in initial construction cost and in ongoing maintenance.

Audric is a University of Guelph graduate with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture and an Associate Member of the OALA.
His public design ideals were strongly influenced by formative travels through Scandinavia, Turkey, Spain, and Morocco during a university exchange semester in Copenhagen, followed by further visits to Japan and Taiwan.
He is attracted to the convergence of thinking between Landscape architecture and other design disciplines and the merger of technical functions and aesthetics (the economy of design).
