Krythveil Forge Architecture
Forging Timeless Spaces with Modern Innovation
View Our Work Let's TalkHere at Krythveil Forge, we don't just design buildings - we're crafting stories in steel, glass, and reclaimed timber. Based in Vancouver, we've spent years figuring out how to make contemporary architecture work in harmony with our city's rich architectural heritage.
Whether it's breathing new life into a century-old heritage building or designing a net-zero residential project from scratch, our approach stays the same: respect what came before, embrace what's possible now, and always keep an eye on what's coming next. We've learned that sustainable design isn't just about checking boxes - it's about creating spaces that genuinely work for the people using them while treading lightly on our planet.
From concept sketches to final walk-throughs, we've got you covered
Your home should be more than just four walls. We design residential spaces that actually reflect how you live - not some magazine-perfect ideal. From laneway houses to full custom homes, we're all about making spaces that feel right.

Old buildings have character you just can't replicate. We've restored everything from Victorian-era storefronts to mid-century landmarks, keeping their soul intact while making them work for today's needs. It's detective work, craftsmanship, and a whole lot of patience.

Green building isn't just a trend we jumped on - it's been core to our practice for years. We help clients navigate everything from passive house standards to LEED certification, finding practical solutions that make environmental and financial sense.

Over the years, we've had the privilege of working on some really diverse projects across Vancouver and beyond. From transforming a 1920s warehouse into mixed-use live-work spaces to designing Canada's first net-positive commercial building in the lower mainland, each project teaches us something new.
We're particularly proud of our work with local heritage societies and community organizations, helping preserve the buildings that give our neighborhoods their character while making them functional for modern use.

The best architecture works from the inside out. Our interior planning ensures spaces flow naturally, making the most of every square foot without feeling cramped or overly engineered.
Construction's the stage where designs either shine or fall apart. We stick around through the build process, making sure what gets built actually matches what we designed.
Whether you're starting from scratch or rescuing a historic gem, we'd love to hear about it. Let's grab a coffee and see if we're a good fit for what you're trying to accomplish.
