Forging Brilliant Spaces That Shine

We're not just drawing lines on paper - we're crafting places where life actually happens, where sustainability meets style without the corporate mumbo-jumbo.

Urban Spaces That Work

Vancouver's changing fast, and we're here making sure it changes right - one thoughtful project at a time.

Our Approach

Green By Design

Sustainability isn't a checkbox for us - it's baked into everything we do, because honestly, what's the point otherwise?

Let's Talk

Vancouver, BC

We're Not Your Typical Firm

Look, the world doesn't need another cookie-cutter architecture studio pushing the same old ideas. We started Glimmer Forge because Vancouver deserves better - buildings that respect the environment, spaces that feel right, and designs that'll still look good in 30 years.

Based right here on Granville Street, we've spent years figuring out what works in our climate, our neighborhoods, and our future. Whether it's a home that actually fits how you live or a commercial space that doesn't waste energy like it's going out of style, we're all about getting it right.

More About Us

What We Actually Do

Six core services, but really it's all connected - good design doesn't fit in neat little boxes.

Residential Design

Homes that fit your life, not the other way around. We've done everything from laneway houses to full custom builds.

Commercial Architecture

Offices, retail spaces, and mixed-use buildings that make business sense and environmental sense at the same time.

Sustainable Building Solutions

Passive house design, green roofs, solar integration - we know what actually works in BC's climate.

Urban Planning & Development

Making neighborhoods work better, one block at a time. Density done right, with character intact.

Interior Space Design

Because what's inside matters just as much. We handle the full picture, inside and out.

Heritage Building Restoration

Bringing old buildings into the 21st century while keeping what made them special in the first place.

Our Promise

Sustainability Isn't Optional

Here's the thing - we're in 2025, and designing buildings that waste resources is just lazy. Every project we take on gets the full sustainability treatment, not because it's trendy, but because it's the only way forward.

We're talking real stuff: proper insulation, smart orientation, materials that last, systems that don't cost a fortune to run. Vancouver's got specific challenges with rain and mild winters, and we've spent years learning what actually performs here.
