The Story Behind the Studio
Look, we're not gonna pretend we started in some garage with nothing but dreams and a drafting table. But the truth is, back in 2009, Marcus Gildraven and Elena Quintar met at a conference in Vancouver and realized they were both pretty frustrated with how cookie-cutter architecture had become.
Fast forward fifteen years - we've grown from just the two of them sketching ideas over way too much coffee to a team of 24 talented folks who actually care about making spaces that don't just look good in photos but feel right when you're in them.
We're based in Toronto now, and honestly? This city's energy keeps us going. The mix of old and new, the diversity of neighborhoods - it's exactly the kind of complexity that makes architecture interesting instead of boring.
