Co-Creating Contemporary Indigenous Spaces

While reconnecting with our indigenous roots, we discovered that ancestral wisdom offer multiple solutions to our current climate change challenges. We seek to co-create spaces for contemporary indigenous communities that wish to re-establish inter- generational living in harmony with nature.

Employing the latest in cutting edge technologies, MINDFUL ARCHITECTURE incorporates the sophistication of traditional tectonics and ancestral strategies for thermal comfort into contemporary forms. Our co-creation process is founded on listening and learning from elders and the community to create spaces imbued with meaning and cultural resonance. This synthesis of traditional wisdom and high performance building results in deeply sustainable, highly resilient, authentic communities interwoven seamlessly and symbiotically with mother earth.

We specialize in urban infill projects that provide gentle densification in single family neighbourhoods, where small-scale multifamily homes provide new opportunities. We offer development consulting services including yield analyses, pro formas and multi-family feasibility studies.

In our renovation projects, we carefully assess and preserve much of the embodied energy of an existing buildings while completely transforming the original dwelling into a harmonious living space. This approach saves time, prevents tons of waste from going to the landfill and trees from being cut, and it saves considerable amounts of money.

Our design studio creates unexpected products that are simple yet sophisticated. Our process focuses on ergonomics, designing for dis-assembly and of using innocuous materials. We are always mindful of assessing the complete life cycle of our products to minimize their environmental impact.
