The Beginning
Look, I'll be straight with you. This whole thing started because I was tired of cookie-cutter buildings that had zero soul.
Back in 2011, I was fresh outta grad school at the University of Toronto, full of ideas about how spaces could tell stories. But every firm I talked to wanted the same glass boxes, the same boring facades. Where was the magic? Where was the narrative?
So I did what any stubborn idealist would do—started my own practice in a cramped office on Queen Street West. The name? That came from a late-night conversation with my grandfather, who used to tell me old Celtic tales. He'd talk about zephyrs carrying messages between worlds, and runes holding ancient power. It clicked—what if buildings could do that too?
Fast forward to now, we're a team of twelve passionate folks who genuinely believe that modern architecture doesn't have to be soulless. And yeah, we're still learning as we go.
