Faylene Orquinthal Architecture - Sustainable Design Studio Vancouver

Hey, I'm Faylene

For the past decade and change, I've been working with folks across Vancouver and beyond to design spaces that actually make sense - both for how we live today and for the planet we're leaving behind.

Whether it's a family home that needs to work for three generations or a commercial space that's gotta perform while staying green, we figure it out together. No cookie-cutter solutions here.

Sustainability Isn't Optional

Look, the climate's changing whether we like it or not. Every project that comes through our studio gets the sustainability treatment - it's just how we work now.

Passive solar design, natural ventilation, material sourcing, energy modeling - we've been doing this stuff long enough that it's second nature. And honestly? It usually saves money in the long run.

Our Approach

Recent Projects

Each project's got its own story. From heritage renovations in Kitsilano to ground-up commercial builds in Yaletown, we've tackled pretty much everything Vancouver throws at us.
