Calgary AB, Canada Little Giant Architecture & Interiors Full time

Who we are

We are a team of architects and designers crafting well-considered architecture and interiors from the smallest detail to the greatest vision. We appreciate the man-made and the natural, the well crafted and the wild-grown, the infinite landscape and the intimacy of human space.

We are modernists. We look to film, art, music. We draw from nature. We contemplate the small detail. We imagine the broad landscape. We prefer the timeless, the poetic, the understated, the sublime.
