What We Actually Do

Honestly? We design spaces that work for real people, not just Instagram feeds

Look, we've been doing this for years, and here's what we've learned: every project's different. Some folks come to us knowing exactly what they want, others just know their current space isn't cutting it. Either way, we're here to figure it out together.

Residential architecture

Residential Architecture Design

Whether you're building from scratch or rethinking what you've got, we'll help you create a home that actually feels like yours. We're talking about spaces where you'll want to spend time, not just show off to guests.

What's included:

  • Initial site analysis and feasibility study
  • Conceptual sketches that make sense
  • Detailed construction drawings
  • Material selection (we know the good suppliers)
  • Permit coordination - yeah, we handle that headache

Timeline: Usually 3-6 months, depends on complexity

"We'd been stuck in planning hell for months with another firm. Blazorin came in, cut through all the nonsense, and got us a design we could actually afford to build. Our house is now the one everyone asks about on the block."

- Michael & Sarah T., Leslieville
Commercial building

Commercial Building Planning

Running a business is hard enough without dealing with a space that works against you. We design commercial buildings that help your operations run smoother, not just look pretty in renderings.

Our approach:

  • Understanding your workflow before we draw anything
  • Zoning compliance (we know Toronto's codes inside out)
  • Energy-efficient systems that cut your bills
  • Future-proofing for growth
  • Construction administration

Timeline: 6-12 months depending on size and regulations

Sustainable construction

Sustainable Construction Consulting

Real talk: sustainable doesn't always mean expensive or complicated. Sometimes it's just about making smarter choices from the start. We'll show you where it's worth investing and where it's just greenwashing.

What we cover:

  • Energy modeling and efficiency strategies
  • Material lifecycle assessments
  • LEED certification support (if that's your thing)
  • Passive design techniques
  • Renewable energy integration

Timeline: Ongoing throughout your project

Interior optimization

Interior Space Optimization

Got a weird layout? Wasted space? Rooms that just don't flow? We're pretty good at spatial Tetris. We'll reconfigure what you've got so it actually works the way you live.

Services:

  • Space planning and flow analysis
  • Light optimization strategies
  • Custom millwork design
  • Material and finish selection

Timeline: 2-4 months

Urban planning

Urban Planning & Development

This one's more complex - we work with developers and municipalities to create neighborhoods that people actually want to live in. Not just dense for the sake of density.

Expertise:

  • Master planning and site analysis
  • Mixed-use development strategies
  • Community engagement processes
  • Infrastructure coordination

Timeline: 12+ months

Heritage restoration

Heritage Building Restoration

Old buildings have character you can't fake. We specialize in bringing them into the 21st century while keeping what made them special in the first place. It's trickier than new builds, but way more rewarding.

What we do:

  • Historical research and documentation
  • Heritage permit applications
  • Restoration-sensitive interventions
  • Modern systems integration

Timeline: 8-16 months

How We Actually Work

01
Initial Chat

Coffee, video call, whatever works. We'll talk about what you need, what you want, and what's actually possible. No sales pitch, just honest conversation.

02
Discovery & Planning

We dig into the details - site visits, measurements, understanding constraints. This is where we catch the problems before they become expensive surprises.

03
Design Development

Here's where it gets fun. We'll show you options, refine based on your feedback, and work through the details until we've got something that clicks.

04
Making It Real

Construction docs, permits, contractor coordination. We stick around to make sure what gets built matches what we designed. That's kinda important.

What People Are Saying

"We needed our retail space redesigned without shutting down for weeks. They came up with a phased approach that actually worked. Sales are up 30% since the renovation - turns out flow matters."

Jennifer K.

Boutique Owner, Queen West

"Thought going sustainable would blow our budget. Blazorin showed us where to spend and where to save. Our office uses 40% less energy and cost only 10% more to build. Worth it."

David M.

Tech Startup Founder

"Our 1920s building needed serious work but we didn't want to lose its character. They respected the history while making it functional for modern tenants. It's everything we hoped for."

Patricia L.

Property Management, Cabbagetown
