Take a peek at the @indwell.ca Cornerstone Suites in the Streetsville neighbourhood of Mississauga. Includes 40 units of supportive housing as an infill between two heritage homes. We were proud to be the architects for this project, bringing together old and new.

We were honoured to celebrate the grand opening of Sacajawea’s newest building, NIH DAWIN’NAA, today. There was a Haudenosaunee thanksgiving, cedar tree planting, tours, laughter and food!
What was originally a box factory, then a faux pearl factory, and eventually a performing arts centre is now 15 homes for indigenous folks. There is also a duplex next door with two more units.
We were the architects of both buildings, along with @smoke_architecture_inc. @landwise.team were the planners through the rezoning and Tim Welch Consulting guided the project through the funding hoops. Our consultant team included Kalos Engineering, CK Engineering, and BELi for the masonry testing. And Schilthuis Construction who led the construction crews.
The building was designed to be 40% more energy efficient than code, which was improved even more during construction when we pulled the plug on fossil fuels and changed to a heat pump HWH. And it was all done (after zoning) in less than two years.
But everyone’s favourite part of the building are the beautiful woodland-inspired art panels, designed by Naomi @blacktulipdesigns. 🖤❤️ 💛 🤍 A big thank you to Melanee and Miranda for their commitment to creating housing for people who need it. We are so happy to be working on the next two projects with you now as well (Gage N. and Dundurn S.)
We are so happy to have school in full session this year in the new addition at Jarvis Community Christian School! This four classroom addition created a unique space for kids to learn in this growing elementary school. We love how the natural daylighting makes the classrooms feel so welcoming.

What a beautiful day for the Grand Opening of @indwell.ca Cornerstone Suites in the #Streetsville neighbourhood in #mississauga. With a combination of two heritage houses, a tight site, #passivehouse design, and a very short timeline, the project had its challenges. But in the words of Pastor Cooper, the transformation from the former group homes is incredible and “we like what you’ve done with the place.”
Big kudos to Urban Strategies, Counterpoint Engineering, Kalos Engineering, CK Engineering, Zon Engineering, OMC landscape architecture, and Schilthuis Construction for making the vision a reality!
We were in Woodstock today and got to make a quick stop at @indwell.ca’s Harvey Woods Lofts. The first phase renovation to the old factory was completed nine years ago, with the addition a couple years later. It is still a beautiful building, with lovely people living there, creating raised bed gardens and building restorative community.
