Who We Really Are

Look, we're not gonna pretend we've been around since the 1920s or anything. Lumine Realm Architecture started from a simple belief – buildings should work with nature, not against it. And yeah, they should look incredible too.

Based right here in Vancouver, we've watched this city grow and change. Every project we take on reflects our commitment to sustainable contemporary design that actually makes sense for how people live and work today.

We're a tight-knit crew who genuinely loves what we do. From that first sketch on a napkin to watching the contractors wrap up the final details, we're all in. Our clients become collaborators, and honestly, that's when the magic happens.

What Drives Us

We're not just designing buildings – we're creating spaces that'll be around for decades. That's a responsibility we take seriously. Every material choice, every window placement, every spatial decision gets examined through the lens of sustainability and livability.

Vancouver's given us this incredible natural setting to work with. Mountains, ocean, forests – it'd be criminal not to design in harmony with all that. Plus, our clients deserve spaces that reduce their environmental footprint without feeling like they're living in a science experiment.

Our design process

How We Actually Work

No corporate speak here – just the real deal

Listen First

We start by actually listening. Your vision, your budget, your weird uncle's opinion – we wanna hear it all before we put pen to paper.

Design Together

This is collaborative. We'll throw ideas around, sketch options, and refine until we've got something that genuinely excites everyone.

Build Smart

We're on site regularly, working with contractors to make sure what gets built matches what we designed. Details matter.

Deliver Proudly

When we hand over the keys, you're getting something we're proud to put our name on. And we're still here if questions come up.

Team collaboration

Why Vancouver Matters

Being based in Vancouver shapes everything we do. This city's constantly pushing boundaries when it comes to green building practices and urban design. We're surrounded by forward-thinking clients, innovative builders, and honestly, some of the most beautiful natural scenery in the world.

Our office on West Hastings puts us right in the heart of it all. We've worked on projects from Kitsilano to North Van, from single-family homes to multi-unit developments. Each neighborhood's got its own character, and we love learning what makes each community tick.
