SELECTED PROJECTS

LAURIE FLEMING JEWELLERY

JANET MACPHERSON: A CANADIAN BEASTIARY, 2017

For this solo exhibition at the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art, we worked intimately with the artist to realize her hybrid land of humans, animals and landscape. In response to each of the four works, we designed and fabricated the stylized exhibitry that define the gallery environments. The exhibition wordmark and graphics were created in collaboration with graphic designer D.Sforza.

CONDO ON THE PARK

PARKDALE CARPORT AND HARDSCAPE, 2020

A 20’ x 20’ carport was supported with helical piles and a re-purposed interlock floor, eliminating the need for new concrete footings and slab. Innovative use of materials complemented the structure. A minimal, poured in place concrete path re-defined areas for new plantings.

RICHMOND ST CONDO

ANNEX EAGLES NEST, 2019

A micro apartment expanded the third storey of an architect’s existing home. Interior ceiling and walls were clad in white-washed white pine that flowed to the exterior. The inverted cantilever detail that made this transition possible was designed by the owner himself.

CO-OWNED DUPLEX IN BLOORDALE, 2016

Conversion of a typical Toronto Victorian house into a dwelling for two families. New underpinning and a rear addition with an accordion door allow light into the lower unit's double-height kitchen and living area.

Who we are

WHO WE ARE

Founded in 2011, North Arrow Limited is a specialized firm that combines site construction and custom architectural millwork. We translate the drawings of architects, designers and engineers into spaces and installations with precision, tenacity and craftsmanship rarely found in the construction industry. Our skilled in-house fabrication allows us to develop and refine details and finishes to reveal their function and beauty.

Through our work with residential, retail and cultural clients, North Arrow Limited has established a reputation for realizing environments with care and exactitude. We regularly collaborate with specialty trades and fabricators to complete projects that express qualities beyond the visual. Acutely aware of its part in an industry that disturbs the earth’s climate, North Arrow Limited accounts for waste diversion and material reuse and is committed to a sustainable practice.
