Meet The Team
We're a tight-knit group who genuinely love what we do. Architecture isn't just our job - it's kind of our obsession.
Valor Quinthorin
Principal Architect & Founder
I started this firm because I got tired of seeing buildings that looked impressive but felt empty. Good design should make people feel something - comfort, inspiration, maybe even a little joy. After 15 years bouncing between commercial firms, I wanted to create spaces that actually matter to the people using them.
Elena Markova
Senior Design Architect
I believe every building has a story to tell, and my job is figuring out what that story should be. Trained in Moscow and Toronto, I bring a European sensibility to North American practicality. Sustainable design isn't a buzzword for me - it's just how architecture should be done, period.
Marcus Chen
Commercial Projects Lead
Spent a decade doing corporate towers before realizing smaller commercial projects are where the real creativity happens. I love the challenge of making retail and office spaces that people actually want to spend time in. Function matters, but so does feeling good when you walk through the door.
Sarah Beaumont
Residential Design Specialist
Homes are personal - sometimes intensely so. I've learned that listening is 90% of my job. Every family lives differently, and cookie-cutter designs just don't cut it. My favorite projects are the ones where clients say 'you just got us' because that means I did my homework right.
Raj Patel
Sustainability Consultant
I'm the guy asking uncomfortable questions about energy use and material sourcing. But here's the thing - sustainable design doesn't mean sacrificing style or comfort. It means being smarter about how we build. Plus, clients love it when their utility bills are half what they expected.
Isabella Torres
Heritage Restoration Expert
Old buildings have soul - you just can't replicate that character in new construction. My passion is preserving what makes historic structures special while making them functional for today. It's detective work, engineering, and art all rolled into one, and I absolutely love the challenge.
David Okonkwo
Project Manager
Someone's gotta keep the trains running on time, and that's me. I make sure dreams turn into actual buildings, on schedule and on budget. Been managing construction projects for 12 years, and I've learned that clear communication beats everything else. No surprises - that's my motto.
