Based in Toronto's core, we've been designing buildings that matter since day one.
Look, we've spent years learning that the best architecture isn't about showing off – it's about listening. Really listening to what a space needs to be. Whether you're looking to build your dream home or need a commercial space that actually functions well, we're here to make it happen without the usual architectural ego trip.
Sustainability isn't just a checkbox for us. It's built into every decision we make because, honestly, what's the point of beautiful design if it's gonna cost the earth? We've got the green building certs and all that, but more importantly, we've got the experience to make eco-friendly design feel natural, not forced.

We're based right here in Toronto, which means we get the climate challenges, the building codes, and what actually works in this city. No cookie-cutter solutions – just solid design that responds to place and purpose.
Since opening our doors, we've worked on everything from lakefront condos to century homes that needed a thoughtful update. Each project taught us something new, and honestly, that's what keeps this work interesting.
First, we sit down and actually listen. What're you trying to build? What's the budget look like? What keeps you up at night about this project?
We sketch, model, and iterate until we've nailed it. You'll be involved the whole way – this is your project, after all.
From permits to construction oversight, we're there to make sure what gets built matches what we designed. No surprises.
Whether you've got detailed plans or just a vague idea, let's grab a coffee and talk about it. No pressure, no sales pitch – just a real conversation about what you're trying to accomplish and whether we're the right fit to help you get there.
We're right downtown at 250 Adelaide Street West, Suite 1200. Give us a ring at (416) 555-0147 or shoot us an email at info@embercrestborn.info.
