Our Work

Every project tells a story - usually one that starts with rusty beams and ends with people actually wanting to hang out in old factories. We've spent years getting our hands dirty in buildings that most folks would've torn down, finding the bones worth saving and the character worth celebrating.

Factory Conversion

The Foundry Quarter

Turned a 1920s iron foundry into 32 loft apartments. Those ceiling heights? Chef's kiss. Kept the original crane rails - now they're just cool as hell decorative elements people love showing off.

Junction Collective After Junction Collective Before
Adaptive Reuse

Junction Collective

Old warehouse, new creative hub. Stripped it back to the bones and let the timber structure do the talking. Added tons of natural light without losing that raw industrial vibe everyone was after.

Riverside Brewhouse After Riverside Brewhouse Before
Historic Restoration

Riverside Brewhouse

1880s brewery that sat empty for decades. The copper kettles were still there - rusted but salvageable. Now it's a working brewery again with a restaurant upstairs. Full circle, you know?

Guelph, ON 2022
Steelworks District After Steelworks District Before
Urban Revitalization

Steelworks District

Former steel mill complex that became retail, office, and residential space. The challenge was keeping that industrial edge while making it livable. Those massive steel columns? Yeah, they're staying put.

Millwright Studios After Millwright Studios Before
Creative Workspace

Millwright Studios

Textile mill from 1910 that we carved into artist studios. The trick was creating private spaces without killing the open factory feel. Those old pulley systems? Art installations now.

Kingston, ON 2024
Harbour Lofts After Harbour Lofts Before
Waterfront Conversion

Harbour Lofts

Old shipping warehouse right on the water. Massive windows were already there - just needed some serious TLC. Turned it into 18 units with lake views that'll make you forget you're in a former cargo building.

Port Colborne, ON 2023
Forge & Table After Forge & Table Before
Hospitality Design

Forge & Table

Machine shop turned upscale restaurant. We left grease stains on the concrete floors - yeah, on purpose. The old drill presses? Custom drink stations. Sometimes the grime tells the story better than polish ever could.

Toronto, ON 2022
Ironworks Commons After Ironworks Commons Before
Community Hub

Ironworks Commons

Sprawling ironworks site that became shops, cafes, and community space. The goal wasn't just renovation - it was bringing life back to a neighbourhood that'd forgotten what this place used to mean.

Ottawa, ON 2024
Gear Works Tech Hub After Gear Works Tech Hub Before
Tech Workspace

Gear Works Tech Hub

Gear manufacturing plant that sat quiet for 20 years. Perfect for a tech company wanting that 'we're cool and authentic' vibe. Kept the original gear-cutting machines as lobby sculpture - they're conversation starters for sure.
