Built to Last

Real projects, real challenges, real solutions. Here's what we've actually pulled off over the years - from breathing new life into century-old factories to crafting modern steel masterpieces.

The Ironworks Lofts

Gastown, Vancouver, BC

What used to be a forgotten 1908 metalworks facility is now one of downtown's coolest residential complexes. We kept every bit of character - the original crane rails, the massive timber beams, even the old foundry marks on the floor.

Technical Specs
Square Footage 42,000 sq ft
Units Created 28 Lofts
Completed March 2024
Timeline 18 months

"They didn't just renovate our building - they understood it. Every decision respected what came before while making it livable for today."

Cascade Steel House Residential Design

Cascade Steel House

West Vancouver, BC

Our client wanted something that'd make their architect friends jealous. We delivered a cantilevered steel beast that hangs off a hillside like it's defying physics. Spoiler: it's not magic, just really good engineering and a lot of calculations.

Living Space 3,800 sq ft

Cantilever 32 ft span

"Everyone who visits asks how it's even standing. That's exactly what we wanted - drama with substance."

Industrial Renovation

Harbour District Brewery

North Vancouver, BC

Turning a 1952 shipyard warehouse into a working brewery wasn't exactly straightforward. The bones were solid but everything else needed rethinking. We exposed the old steel trusses, punched in massive windows for natural light, and created a space where people actually wanna hang out while their beer gets made.

Marina Point Commercial Complex

Squamish, BC

When a growing tech company needed a headquarters that didn't look like every other glass box, we went back to basics - steel, concrete, and honest materials. Three stories of workspace wrapped around a central atrium with enough natural light to keep everyone sane through those long winter months.

Total Area 28,000 sq ft
Energy Rating LEED Gold
Steel Used 140 tons
Completed Dec 2023

"Our team loves coming to work. The building actually inspires creativity instead of crushing it."

Heritage Restoration

Heritage Mill Residences

New Westminster, BC

A 1889 lumber mill that survived fires, floods, and decades of neglect. The city wanted it preserved but viable - not just a museum piece. We created 16 high-end condos while keeping the mill's character intact. Every unit's got exposed timber from the original structure, and we even salvaged the old conveyor system as a feature wall in the lobby.
