Look, there's a lot of talk about "sustainable design" these days. We started focusing on it before it was trendy - because it just makes sense. Buildings that last, spaces that adapt, materials that don't wreck the environment.
Whether you're looking at a 100-year-old warehouse that needs new life or planning a ground-up development that won't be outdated in five years, we've probably tackled something similar. Our team's seen Toronto grow and change, and we've helped shape quite a bit of it.
Years of Experience

Heritage Restorations
From sketching initial concepts to watching the construction crew finish up, we handle projects at every scale.
Custom homes that reflect how you actually live. We've learned that no two families need the same layout, and cookie-cutter doesn't cut it anymore.
Offices, retail spaces, mixed-use developments - places where people work and connect. Form follows function, but both can look pretty damn good.
This is where craft meets detective work. Finding what's hidden under decades of modifications and bringing back the good stuff while adding modern functionality.
Already got an architect but need someone who really knows green building? We consult on projects to help hit LEED targets and actual performance goals.
Thinking bigger - neighborhoods, districts, master plans. How buildings relate to streets, transit, parks. The stuff that makes cities work or not.
The shell is just the beginning. We design interiors that flow naturally from the architecture - cohesive spaces that actually make sense.
Every project's got its own story and challenges. Here's a few we're particularly proud of.
1920s warehouse transformed into boutique residential units while keeping the industrial character intact.
We let our work speak for itself, but it's nice when others chime in too.
"They didn't just restore our 1890s building - they made it livable for the next century. The team understood what mattered historically and where we needed modern systems. It's still recognizably the same structure, just way more functional."

"We'd worked with three other firms before Glaive Chronos, and none of them got it. These guys actually listened to how we wanted to live, not just what would look good in a magazine. Our energy bills are ridiculously low too, which is a bonus."

Whether you're sketching ideas on a napkin or you've got full drawings ready, let's talk about what you're trying to build. First conversation's always free, and there's no pressure.
