Forging Innovative Spaces with Environmental Harmony

We're not just drawing lines on paper—we're crafting spaces that actually work with nature instead of against it.

Architecture Planning Process

Yeah, we're those architects who actually care about the planet

Look, after spending years in this industry, I've seen too many buildings that look cool but perform terribly. That's why we started Jade Flare Forge—because Vancouver deserves better than cookie-cutter designs that ignore our climate.

Every project we touch gets the full treatment: energy modeling, passive design strategies, material lifecycle analysis—the whole nine yards. But here's the thing: sustainable doesn't mean boring. Our buildings turn heads AND get LEED certifications.

More About Our Approach

What We Actually Do

Real services, real results—no fluff

🏡

Residential Architecture Design

Your home shouldn't just look good on Instagram. We design houses that'll keep you comfortable year-round while your energy bills stay ridiculously low. Worked on everything from laneway houses to full custom builds across BC.

🏢

Commercial Building Planning

Offices, retail spaces, mixed-use—we've tackled 'em all. The secret? Buildings that people actually want to spend time in, with operational costs that won't make your accountant cry.

🌱

Sustainable Design Consulting

Already got a design but wanna make it greener? We'll dive into your plans and figure out where you can improve performance without blowing the budget. Sometimes small tweaks make huge differences.

Interior Space Architecture

The bones of a building matter just as much inside. We're talking flow, natural light, spatial relationships—all that good stuff that makes or breaks how a space feels when you're in it.

🌳

Landscape Integration

Buildings don't just sit on a site—they need to play nice with it. We work closely with landscape architects to make sure your structure and surroundings complement each other, not compete.

LEED Certification Services

Yeah, the paperwork's a pain, but we've been through it enough times to make it smooth. Whether you're chasing Silver, Gold, or Platinum, we know exactly what documentation you need and when.

Why Vancouver Clients Keep Coming Back

We Get BC's Climate

Rain, rain, and more rain—plus those few glorious summer months. Our designs respond to what Mother Nature actually throws at us here.

Honest Timelines

We'd rather tell you upfront what's realistic than promise the moon and disappoint. Permits take time—that's just how it is.

Budget Transparency

No hidden surprises halfway through the project. We lay out costs clearly from day one so you can make informed decisions.

Local Knowledge

Vancouver building codes, zoning bylaws, city planners—we've worked with 'em all enough to navigate smoothly.

Sustainability That's More Than Just Talk

Here's what frustrates me: everyone slaps "green" on their marketing and calls it a day. But real sustainability? That's baked into every decision we make.

We're talking passive solar orientation, high-performance envelopes, rainwater harvesting, natural ventilation strategies—stuff that actually reduces your environmental footprint AND saves you money long-term.

Plus, we source locally whenever possible. BC's got amazing timber and stone—why ship materials from halfway around the world when we've got quality right here?
