INNOVATION

Standards of Innovation

As one of the Okanagan’s leading architectural firms, we integrate advanced technology in our work; leveraging groundbreaking hardware and software to turn concepts into reality. With our gaze on the horizon, we explore emerging tech and innovative ideas that will continue to set us apart.

Environment Scanning 

& Site Analysis

Environment Scanning 
& Site Analysis

We use Matterport’s cutting-edge 3D scanning equipment to evaluate existing sites. By capturing precise measurements and replicating real-world spaces in digital scans, we can preserve historical details in renovation projects and guarantee accuracy in new builds.

3D BIM

Autodesk Revit allows us to harness the capabilities of 3D BIM to build digitally and ensure aesthetic value, structural integrity, and sustainability. It also allows us to collaborate with consultants in real-time, integrating mechanical, electrical, and structural systems, into our architectural model. This ensures a seamless transition from design to construction.

Vivid Visualization

Through our top-tier rendering and VR software, we offer clients a virtual walk-through of their projects long before construction begins. This ensures transparency and allows for adjustments to be made quickly and effectively before physical resources are committed.

Modeling & 3D Printing

Our 3D printing technology allows us to create detailed scale models for ongoing projects. Clients can interact with these tactile structures to experience the scale, feel, and spatial relationships of each physical environment long before it exists in real time.
