Honestly, we got tired of seeing the same cookie-cutter buildings pop up everywhere. That's why we started Ultra Onvintharos - to shake things up a bit.
Look, we started this whole thing because someone had to. Back in 2012, a couple of us were sitting in a downtown cafe, frustrated with how urban spaces were losing their soul. Too much glass, not enough heart. Too much profit-chasing, not enough planet-caring.
So yeah, we decided to do something about it. Started small - a residential project here, a renovation there. But word got around that we actually listened to what people needed, not just what looked good in marketing brochures.
Now we're pushing boundaries with sustainable design that doesn't sacrifice style. Every project's different because, well, every client's different. We've learned that the best buildings tell stories - they just need architects who know how to listen first.
Six core services that cover pretty much everything you'd need
Homes that actually fit how you live, not the other way around. We've done everything from cozy townhouses to sprawling estates.
Offices, retail spaces, mixed-use developments - places where people actually want to spend their time.
This is where we get really excited. Energy-efficient designs that'll make your utility bills way more manageable.
Making sure the inside works as well as the outside looks. Flow matters more than most people think.
Big-picture stuff. Helping cities grow in ways that make sense for the people living there.
Old buildings have character you can't fake. We bring them back to life while keeping what made them special.
Buildings should work with nature, not against it. They should age gracefully, not fall apart in 20 years. And they definitely shouldn't all look the same. We believe good architecture improves lives - sounds simple, but you'd be surprised how often that gets forgotten in the rush to finish projects.
The folks who turn ideas into actual buildings
Principal Architect
Been with us since day one. She's the one who keeps us honest about sustainability.
Urban Planning Lead
Former city planner who got tired of bureaucracy. Now he actually gets things done.
Heritage Specialist
If it's old and beautiful, she'll find a way to save it. Passionate doesn't even cover it.
Commercial Projects Director
Worked on some of Toronto's biggest developments. Knows every contractor in the city.
Communication shouldn't be this hard, but apparently it is in this industry. We keep you in the loop.
We design within your means. Fancy doesn't have to mean expensive, and expensive doesn't guarantee good.
Every project we do considers environmental impact. It's 2024 - there's no excuse anymore.
We guide, we don't dictate. At the end of the day, you're the one living or working there.
We don't do it for the trophies, but they're nice to have
