AetherCrest team at work

We're not your typical architecture firm

Look, there's plenty of firms out there who'll slap a glass facade on a building and call it innovative. That's never been our style.

For over fifteen years, we've been pushing Vancouver's skyline higher while keeping our feet firmly planted in what actually matters—people, communities, and yeah, the planet too. Every project we take on starts with a simple question: how can we make this space work harder for everyone who'll use it?

Whether it's a 40-story residential tower or reimagining an entire city block, we bring the same energy: thoughtful design that doesn't sacrifice sustainability for aesthetics (or vice versa). Our projects have won awards, sure, but what really gets us going is seeing spaces we've designed actually improve people's daily lives.

What We Do Best

Six core services that cover everything from concept to completion

Commercial Architecture

From office towers to mixed-use developments, we've designed spaces where businesses actually want to set up shop. Function meets form, every single time.

Residential Design

High-rise living that doesn't feel like you're in a concrete box. We design homes where people actually want to spend time, not just crash at night.

Urban Planning

Big picture stuff. We work with cities and developers to create neighborhoods that make sense—where transit, green space, and density all play nice together.

Sustainable Building Design

This isn't greenwashing. LEED certifications, passive design, renewable materials—we've been doing this since before it was trendy, and we're pretty damn good at it.

Interior Architecture

The shell's only half the story. We design interiors that flow naturally, using light, materials, and space in ways that actually enhance how people move through a building.

Project Management

Great designs mean nothing if they can't get built on time and on budget. We shepherd projects from first sketch to final walkthrough—no surprises, no drama.

Built for the long haul

Here's the thing about sustainable design—it's not some add-on feature you bolt onto a building at the end. It's gotta be baked in from day one, or you're just wasting everyone's time.

We've spent years figuring out how to build high-rises that use less energy, source smarter materials, and actually integrate with their environment instead of fighting against it. Solar orientation, natural ventilation, rainwater systems—this stuff works when you design with intention.

And yeah, it costs a bit more upfront sometimes, but the buildings last longer, operate cheaper, and honestly? They just feel better to be in. That's the real payoff.
