Our Studio
Vancouver's Contemporary Design Leaders

We're Mystraloria, and we've been doing this for a while now

Look, architecture can be pretty stuffy sometimes. But here's the thing – buildings should work for the people in 'em, not the other way around. We've spent years figuring out how to make spaces that actually feel right, y'know?

Started out in Vancouver back when sustainable design wasn't cool yet. Now everyone's talking about it, but we've got the battle scars and the stories to prove we've been at it from day one. Our projects? They're all over the Lower Mainland, and each one's got its own personality.

Get to Know Us Better

What We Actually Do

Six things we're really good at – been honing these skills for years

Residential Architecture

Residential Architecture

Your home isn't just four walls and a roof. We design spaces where life actually happens – messy, beautiful, real life. From cozy laneway houses to sprawling family estates, we've done it all.

Commercial Design

Commercial Design

Offices shouldn't feel like prisons. Stores should invite people in. We create commercial spaces that make sense for how people actually use them – not how some manual says they should.

Sustainable Consulting

Sustainable Building Consulting

Got a project that needs to be greener? We'll walk you through it without the greenwashing BS. Real solutions, real results – been doing this since before it was mandatory.

Interior Planning

Interior Space Planning

Ever walked into a room and just felt like something's off? That's bad space planning. We make sure every square foot earns its keep and feels natural.

Urban Development

Urban Development

Cities are living things. We work on projects that make neighborhoods better – more walkable, more livable, more connected. It's not just buildings, it's communities.

Heritage Restoration

Heritage Restoration

Old buildings have stories. We help tell 'em while making sure they work for today. It's tricky work – respecting history while adding modern function – but it's some of our favorite stuff.

Why work with us? Here's the honest truth

We listen before we sketch

Too many architects come in with their vision already set. Not us. We spend time understanding what you actually need, not what we think looks cool. Your project, your story – we're just here to help tell it right.

Sustainability's in our DNA

We were doing passive solar before most folks knew what it meant. Energy efficiency, local materials, designing with the climate instead of against it – this stuff's second nature to us now. And it'll save you money in the long run, which is nice.

We've seen it all

Difficult sites? Check. Weird zoning issues? Dealt with plenty. Budget constraints? Always. We've navigated Vancouver's building scene long enough to know where the pitfalls are and how to avoid 'em.

No jargon, no runaround

We'll explain things in plain English. You're spending serious money on this – you deserve to understand what's happening every step of the way. Questions are good. Ask away.

Our Process Design Work

Got a project in mind?

Let's grab a coffee and talk about it. No pressure, just a conversation about what you're thinking and whether we might be a good fit.

Recent stuff we're proud of

Just a few projects from the past couple years

Residential Project

West End Residence

Turned a cramped 1960s box into a light-filled modern home without losing the neighborhood charm
