Who We Are
Real people. Real spaces. Zero pretense.
Look, we're not gonna pretend we came up with 'Blazrenth Forge Quint' over some fancy cocktail at a design gala. It happened during a late-night session in 2018 when three of us were arguing about whether architecture is art or engineering. Someone made a joke about forging spaces like blacksmiths forge steel, and honestly? It stuck.
We started in a cramped office near Gastown with more coffee stains than square footage. Seven years later, we're still that same crew—just with better coffee and a view of the mountains from our West Georgia studio.
What hasn't changed is our approach: we design buildings that work for the people who actually use them, not for architecture magazine covers (though we've ended up in a few anyway).
We believe buildings should earn their place in the landscape—not demand attention, but deserve it through thoughtful design and honest materials.
We don't hide the bones of a building. Steel, concrete, wood—these materials have stories, and we let them speak. There's beauty in exposed structure when it's done right.
It's 2025—sustainability isn't a selling point, it's baseline. Every project gets passive solar analysis, material lifecycle assessment, and energy modeling. Not because clients ask, but because it's the right way to build.
Vancouver's not Toronto, and downtown's not the suburbs. We spend time understanding neighborhoods, weather patterns, and how people actually move through spaces before we draw a single line.

We're always up for a conversation about challenging projects. Whether you're renovating a heritage building or planning something from scratch, let's grab a coffee and talk about what's possible.
