We work on solving critical built-environment issues in Canada through pilot projects, collaborative networks and living laboratories.
We believe in circular design and the transition to a circular economy as an opportunity to address systemic social, environmental and economic issues. We employ a framework called Innovation Architecture which incorporates circular models and open innovation principles towards transformative and systemic spatial change.
As a cross-disciplinary, collaborative agency of experts, we provide the following to aligned innovators and partners:
- Expert Consulting on Circular Transition and Pilot Projects
- Knowledge & Resource-Sharing
- Collaborative Networks & Events
- Partnership-Building
We help develop pilot projects across Canada— addressing critical contextual issues while challenging the way we think about our spaces.
We are building collaborative networks to help solve pressing social, environmental and economic issues in Canadian space-making and city-building, focusing on circular economic models and open innovation principles.
We welcome aligned innovators, researchers, and transformative developers to join our growing network of action-driven changemakers.

We help organizations, communities, and innovators realize transformative change by moving from linear to circular models through resilient partnerships and strategic interventions. We employ a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary approach to address the unique needs of each context.
We help facilitate local and global partnerships and agreements that enable innovative ideas and concepts to find real-world application through research-based pilot projects.
Rooted in architecture and urban design, we deploy a new model of practice that incorporates circular economic models, research-based design, and open innovation principles.
Built environment innovation must be tested in real-world proof cases. These are called Pilot projects. Our team helps research, design and develop pilot projects to bring innovations to life in the Canadian context.
We conduct and share research regarding circular, regenerative and equitable space-making. This includes deploying Open Innovation principles.
