ABOUT

Architecture that starts with listening and ends with something you're proud of.

Hi, I'm Daichi. I started this practice because good design has always been about people first. The families who will grow up inside a space. The youth who will find belonging in a community centre. The elders who will pass on their wisdom. Every project I take on, I carry those people with me from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.

My work covers residential, commercial, and institutional projects, but what draws me in is the chance to create something that genuinely matters to the people it's built for.

Experience

Over the course of my career, I've had the privilege of working closely with First Nations communities across BC on projects that sit at the heart of community life. On each of these, I served as project lead, responsible for producing drawings and specifications, coordinating consultants, and administering construction from start to finish.

What You Can Expect From Me

I'm on your side

My job is to represent your best interests, not the easiest path, not the cheapest option. What's right for you.

I'm responsive

You won't be chasing me down. I stay in contact, answer your questions, and keep you in the loop, always.

I care deeply

Your project matters, and I treat it that way, with genuine care, close attention, and a strong sense of responsibility.

I solve problems

Projects rarely go exactly as planned. When challenges come up, I bring solutions, not excuses.

Let’s Talk About Your Project

Whether you have a fully formed idea or just a feeling that you want to build something meaningful, I'd love to hear about it. No pressure, no jargon. Just a conversation.
