which designs and builds prefab modular

THE ALTIUS PROCESS
At Altius Architecture, each project is ap-
proached with a holistic philosophy and a
collaborative spirit. By carefully considering
every factor, from the site and building de-
sign, to landscaping and interior design, the
team at Altius is able to walk clients through
the trickier aspects with knowledge and skill.
“We’re completely turn-key,” Smith ex-
plained. “Often we’ll start with clients who
are looking for property, and we’ll assist
them in selecting the right property, we’ll
take them through all of zoning and site-
plan approvals. We’ll do all of the design
work, building permits, straight through to
construction, interior design, and even pick-
ing out linens if the client wants.”
Looking through their portfolio - ranging
from cottages and custom homes to com-
mercial spaces and multi-unit residential -
it’s clear to see Altius’s distinct style. Though
each project shares the contemporary style,
Smith affirms that it’s the homeowners’ vi-
sion which shapes the most unique qualities.
