At Carscadden Stokes McDonald Architects, we’re problem solvers. We push until we find the most creative, pragmatic solution possible. We see our ideas through until they become inspired, functional, and well-considered buildings. We're with our clients from the beginning of a project until the very end. We do the thinking, the drawings; we’re at meetings and on site. No detail is too small for us to care about or tend to. As a result, our clients can be confident that our shared vision for the project will come to fruition, on time and on budget. We’re proud to have made our name designing and building some of British Columbia’s most respected recreation facilities. Carscadden knows rec better than any other firm. We understand the unique needs and constraints associated with recreation architecture, so we can navigate them effectively and efficiently. Most importantly, we have a deep commitment to and passion for building facilities that will bring joy to the communities that use them. The way we see it, architecture has the capacity to change communities for the better. The Carscadden team is deeply invested in where we live and work — our Vancouver Downtown Eastside neighbourhood, the communities in which we build, the planet we live on. This investment is a powerful driver in the decisions we make: from what and how we build, to how we get around, to how we spend our free time. Many make similar claims; Carscadden lives them. We walk the walk – or rather, we bike the bike.
