Founded 2012
Started in a cramped office above a coffee shop on Queen West. Now we're still on Queen West, just with better coffee and more square footage.
Who We Are
Look, we're not your typical architecture firm that throws around words like "synergy" or "paradigm shift." We're just a bunch of designers who got tired of seeing the same cookie-cutter buildings pop up everywhere.
Back in 2012, three of us were working late nights at different firms, sketching ideas on napkins and complaining about how modern architecture seemed to forget that buildings exist across decades, not just Instagram feeds. So we did what any slightly reckless architects would do - we pooled our savings, rented a tiny space, and started ChronoInquester.
The name? Yeah, it's a bit pretentious, we'll admit. But the idea behind it isn't - we genuinely believe buildings should acknowledge their past while looking toward their future. A structure built today will exist for 50, 100, maybe 200 years. That's a responsibility we don't take lightly.
What started as three people and a dream (and way too much coffee) has grown into a team of 17 talented folks. We've got architects who can sketch a concept in minutes, sustainability experts who know every green building trick in the book, and project managers who somehow keep us all on schedule.
