Yeah, That's Our Name

Look, we get it - Pyrovenlithquinth isn't exactly easy to say after a couple beers. But here's the thing: we chose a name that's as unique as the work we do. Been at this for over 15 years now, and honestly? We've learned that good architecture isn't about following some cookie-cutter formula.

It's about listening, adapting, and creating spaces that just... feel right. Whether that's restoring a century-old building or designing something brand new that'll stand the test of time.

Some Stuff We're Pretty Proud Of

Each project tells its own story. Here are a few that really showcase what we're all about

Sustainable Residence
Residential Design

West End Net-Zero Home

This one was a challenge - the clients wanted a family home that basically pays for itself energy-wise. We integrated solar panels into the roof design so seamlessly that most neighbors don't even notice 'em. Plus, the passive heating system means they barely touch the thermostat even in January.

The kids have their own spaces, the parents got their sanctuary, and the whole thing generates more power than it uses. That's what I call a win.

Gastown Warehouse Revival

Walking into this 1912 warehouse for the first time was like stepping back in time - and not in a good way. The building had great bones but desperately needed love. We kept the original brick facade, restored the timber beams, and transformed the interior into modern office spaces without losing that historic character.

Now it's a thriving creative hub where people actually want to work. Plus, we managed to get it LEED certified, which for a building that old? Pretty damn cool.

Yaletown Mixed-Use Development

This project was all about creating community. Retail on the ground floor, offices above, and residential units on top - but making it all flow together naturally. The rooftop gardens aren't just for show either; they're actually functional green spaces that help with stormwater management.

We also made sure every unit got natural light - no dark corridors or gloomy corners. Because honestly, what's the point of living in beautiful Vancouver if you can't see outside?

What We Actually Do

We're not gonna claim we do everything under the sun. But what we do? We do it really well.

Residential Design & Planning

From ground-up custom homes to renovations that actually make sense. We listen to how you live, then design around that - not the other way around.

Commercial Architecture

Office buildings, retail spaces, mixed-use developments - we've done 'em all. The goal? Spaces that work as hard as the people in them.

Heritage Building Restoration

There's so much history in Vancouver's older buildings. We bring them back to life while making sure they're up to modern standards and codes.

Sustainable Building Consultation

Green building isn't just a buzzword for us - it's how we approach every project. Energy efficiency, material selection, long-term sustainability. It all matters.

Interior Space Planning

Sometimes you don't need to knock down walls - you just need to rethink how you're using the space you've got. We're pretty good at that.

Urban Development Projects

Larger-scale projects that shape neighborhoods. We think about walkability, community, and how buildings interact with the streetscape.

How We Think About Design

Here's the truth: every project is different. The family building their dream home has totally different needs than the developer working on a 20-unit complex. So we don't have some one-size-fits-all approach that we force onto every project.

What we do have is a way of thinking. We start by asking a lot of questions - maybe too many, according to some clients. But understanding what you actually need (not just what you think you want) is half the battle.

Then we look at the site, the context, the budget, the timeline. We think about materials that'll last and systems that make sense. And yeah, we make sure it looks good too - because beauty matters, even if it's not everything.
