“We don’t need to build more. We need to build smarter.”
Iuli Morar
Adaptive urban design for vibrant communities.
We help municipalities and organizations transform public space through practical, human-centered placemaking.
What we do
With experience across rural towns, coastal parks, healthcare campuses, and downtown main streets, we understand the realities of small teams, limited time, and tight budgets.
Through clear audits, frameworks, and practical recommendations, we identify underperforming areas, reduce project risk, and unlock the social and economic potential of your public realm — without the cost or delay of a full master plan.
Trusted by municipalities and community groups across Canada to turn everyday spaces into places people love.
