What we offer

Six disciplines. One integrated practice.

PiXEL Architecture Studio provides comprehensive architectural and design services — from initial concept and regulatory approvals through to construction administration and occupancy. We work as prime consultant, coordinating all disciplines under one roof.

Architecture Design

Architecture Design

Full-service architectural practice covering the complete project delivery cycle — from programming and schematic design through development and building permit approvals to construction administration. We serve commercial, healthcare, residential, hospitality, and industrial clients across Calgary, Alberta, and British Columbia as registered prime consultants.

Our Calgary-based architects understand the Alberta Building Code, the City of Calgary's development regulations, and the specific requirements of regulated industries such as healthcare and pharmacy. We manage the permitting process with care, coordinating structural, mechanical, and electrical disciplines to keep projects on schedule and on budget.

Interior Design

Interior Design

Creating interior environments that are as functional as they are beautiful — from the warmth of a family healthcare clinic to the precision of a pharmacy compounding suite or the energy of a hospitality space. Our interior design work is always integrated with the architecture, ensuring spatial coherence from the structural shell to the smallest detail.

We bring a material intelligence to every interior project — curating finishes, millwork profiles, lighting strategies, and furniture selections that reinforce the character of the space and serve its occupants well. Our healthcare interiors in particular are designed to reduce clinical anxiety and improve the patient experience without compromising operational efficiency.

BIM Solutions

BIM Solutions

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is at the core of our technical practice. We develop high-quality information models that improve coordination between all project disciplines, reduce errors and rework, and produce more accurate documentation — ultimately saving time and cost on every project we deliver.

Beyond our own projects, we provide BIM consultancy services to owners, developers, and project teams seeking to implement or improve their BIM workflows. Our BIM Execution Plans define standards, protocols, and deliverables that keep large, multi-discipline projects aligned from design through construction.

Animation & Visualization

Animation & Visualization

Architectural visualization bridges the gap between a design on paper and the building that will exist in the world. We produce photorealistic still renderings and animated walkthroughs that communicate design intent clearly and compellingly — to clients, planning authorities, investors, and the public.

Our visualization work is model-based, drawing directly from the BIM or CAD geometry of each project. This tight integration with the design process means our renderings accurately represent the proposed building — and any design changes are reflected quickly and efficiently.

Planning & Urban Design

Planning & Urban Design

Unlocking the potential of your site requires a thorough understanding of land use regulations, development standards, and the physical and contextual constraints of the location. Our planning services help clients navigate the regulatory landscape in Calgary and across Alberta — from rezoning and land use amendment applications to feasibility studies and infill development planning.

We have particular experience with Calgary's infill residential districts (R-CG), mixed-use (MU) land uses, and Direct Control districts — as well as Alberta's small and mid-sized communities where development regulation may require direct engagement with municipal planning staff and council.

Landscape Design

Landscape Design

Exterior environments are an extension of the architecture — and they deserve the same level of design thought and care. Our landscape design services create outdoor spaces that complement and enhance the built form, improve the livability and appeal of a project, and meet the requirements of municipal development standards for landscaping, parking, and site amenity.

From residential lot grading and planting plans to commercial site improvements, accessible parking, retaining walls, and fire access routes, we integrate site and landscape design as part of our comprehensive prime consulting approach.

How we work

Our process, from first call to final occupancy.

01

Discovery

We learn about your project, your goals, your site, and your budget. We ask good questions and listen carefully.

02

Design

We develop the design — from early concept sketches and schematic options through to detailed design development with material palettes and spatial layouts.

03

Approvals

We prepare construction documents and manage the permitting process — development permits, building permits, and consultant coordination — with minimal surprises.

04

Delivery

We support construction with site reviews, RFI responses, and progress monitoring — standing behind the design through to final occupancy and closeout.
