f2a is a design + build architecture firm based in nelson, bc, working across the west kootenays, revelstoke, the okanagan, and vancouver.

Our work takes its character from the honesty of its response to place. The best available materials, the nature of the site, the life the building is built for. That is vernacular architecture. That is what we practice, renewed with the tools and knowledge available now. In Nelson and the surrounding area, we design and build with one integrated team. Further afield, we work with trusted contractors and consultants, and offer prefabricated building solutions for remote and difficult sites. but, no matter the location, the design always comes from people who build, which means it's detailed down to the bolt.
