Jade Fire Chronos Architecture - Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Innovation

What We Actually Do

Look, architecture's gotten pretty complicated these days. We've learned to balance what clients want, what buildings need, and what the planet can handle - and yeah, that's harder than it sounds.

Our Services

We've built our practice around six core areas - each one's taught us something different about what makes buildings work.

R

Residential Design & Planning

Your home's probably gonna be the biggest investment you'll ever make. We take that seriously - every room, every window, every corner needs to earn its place.

H

Heritage Building Restoration

There's something special about walking into a building that's got real history. We've learned how to keep that feeling alive while making these places actually functional for modern use.

S

Sustainable Architecture Solutions

We're not gonna pretend every building can be net-zero tomorrow. But we can always find ways to make things better - sometimes it's the small moves that add up.

U

Urban Development Consulting

Cities are messy, complicated ecosystems. We've worked with enough developers and city planners to know that good urban design is about compromise - the smart kind, though.

I

Interior Space Optimization

Sometimes you don't need more space - you just need the space you've got to work harder. We've done this enough times to spot opportunities most folks miss.

G

Green Building Certification

LEED, BREEAM, Living Building Challenge - we've navigated 'em all. The paperwork's tedious but getting that certification? That actually means something to future occupants.

Why We're Different

Most architecture firms'll tell you they're all about innovation or tradition. Thing is, we've never seen why you gotta pick just one.

Vancouver's got this incredible mix of historic buildings and cutting-edge design. We've been working here long enough to understand that respecting the past and pushing forward aren't opposing forces - they're actually partners if you know how to make them dance together.

Our projects don't look the same because, frankly, your needs aren't the same as the next client's. What works for a heritage restoration in Gastown isn't gonna work for a new residential tower in Yaletown. And that's exactly how it should be.
