PRACTICE
Hidden Studio is a full-service architecture and design practice based in Vancouver, BC dedicated to creating imaginative and beautiful spaces that serve the highest aspirations of our clients. From early concepts through construction and completion, we delight in translating those parameters into the built environment. Our focus is on residential renovations and additions, new builds, commercial tenant improvements, and small-scale multifamily developments.
Principal Aleksandra Popovska | AIBC RAIC BAS M.Arch is a licensed architect who brings over 15 years of diverse experience working in Vancouver, Toronto, London, and Madrid on a wide range of projects from single-family residential to large mixed-use developments. As a designer, Aleksandra prefers to take an intuitive approach, carefully considering not only how a space affects its inhabitants, but also how a building responds to and impacts its site, community and the environment throughout its lifecycle. With a keen eye for detail and a willingness to embrace constraints, her projects are meticulously thought out, cohesive, and impactful.
APPROACH
There is an inherent beauty in that which is practical and functional.
We believe good design isn’t just about creating beautiful things; it’s about enriching lives, elevating places, and creating spaces that inspire, embolden, surprise, yet feel natural. We approach design intuitively, carefully considering not only how inhabitants interact with a space, but also how a building responds to and impacts its site, community and the environment throughout its lifecycle.
We create spaces that embrace modernity, but respect the history of a place. We advocate for the preservation and restoration of historic buildings while simultaneously embracing contemporary design in new construction — contextualizing both the new and old elements in a space.
