Making an effort to be friendly with co-workers.

We are very proud to have received an @ARIDOntario award for a project Cathy Garrido, one of our partners, was the lead on: Lakeview in the Beaches! Gala night is October 24th!

This kitchen is an oldie but a goodie: still love the wood in it. From our project of the month feature, Christie Beach. #kitchenremodeling #kitchen #architecture

Our project of the month has a nice red door. altius.net/projects/high-par…

We had a great time at the 4th annual Timber Fever, where students created water stations out of wood. The People’s Choice award is now up for grabs, so head on down to Metro Hall before Sept 27th to see the 16 stations and then vote for your favourite docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Nothing complements a nice meal like a nice... kitchen.

Altius is proud to once again be involved in @timberfever as mentors and judges. The annual competition brings architecture and civil eng. students from universities across Canada together to build a life-size structure out of wood. @UofTDaniels @mosesstructures

Proud to have one of our downtown famous-for-craftsmanship homes as our little city's "Home of the Week" in the Toronto Star: thestar.com/life/homes/2018/…

Throwback Thursday, blast from the past. Cliff House, fresh from the archives. Sunset in lake country.

Does your basement need a makeover?

Hopefully not the last gasp of summer, though a crisp 15 degrees this morning on the walk to the studio did feel a bit like a fall day. French river cottage! Nothing like a view behind the architecture to make it look good.

As Mike Lanctot says: “If the bathroom isn’t your favourite room, there’s something wrong with your bathroom.” With a beautiful bath like this, who could disagree…? (Designed with @arrizandco)

Care for a swim?

Nothing goes better with a cold tea than a rooftop garden.

The houses we build have great outdoor spaces too...

Providing architectural happiness to our clients sometimes just requires a tiny bit of imagination.

Exactly four years ago today (just doing some summer dreaming about this airy, modern, expansive, Toronto home...): nationalpost.com/life/homes/…

No better backdrop for architecture than trees & leaves... Happy August Long Weekend everyone. Hope you are planning on enjoying yourselves in the warm summer air.
