How We Got Here
Look, back in 2013, a couple of us were sitting in a coffee shop in Gastown, sketching on napkins and complaining about how most new buildings looked the same. Vancouver was growing fast, but where was the character? Where was the commitment to actually living sustainably, not just slapping some solar panels on a roof and calling it a day?
So we started Javelorn Nexus with a pretty simple idea - what if we designed buildings that people actually wanted to live and work in, while genuinely respecting the environment? Not just meeting the minimum code requirements, but pushing what's possible with sustainable design.
Fast forward to today, and we've worked on everything from compact residential projects to large-scale commercial developments. We've messed up, learned a ton, and gotten better at what we do. Our projects have won some awards, which is cool, but what really matters is when clients come back years later and tell us their building still feels right.
Our Philosophy (Without the Corporate Jargon)
Every site tells a story - the way light hits it, how wind moves through, what the neighborhood needs. We don't impose a signature style because that'd be missing the point entirely. Your project deserves something that responds to its context, your needs, and yeah, the planet's needs too. It's architecture, not a rubber stamp operation.
