”Merging precision and purpose, Rysense crafts spaces where thoughtful design meets the evolving needs of modern living — creating homes that inspire, function, and endure.“

Our mission is to bring timeless design, functional beauty, and urban livability into perfect harmony. Every residence reflects our commitment to thoughtful planning — from site orientation and space efficiency to architectural detailing and lifestyle flexibility.

We design homes we’d want to live in ourselves. Rysense residences are crafted to evolve with families, balancing form and purpose. Whether it’s optimizing natural light, integrating private workspaces, or creating social zones that foster connection, every choice is driven by how people truly live.

We believe good design doesn’t just elevate a space — it uplifts communities. Rooted in quality, shaped by vision, Rysense builds homes that last, adapt, and inspire.

Ali Malek

FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT

“Le Sentier embraces a warm, contemporary palette of soft neutrals and natural textures, with clean architectural lines that enhance spatial clarity. Expansive glazing and generous ceiling heights create luminous interiors that connect seamlessly to light, air, and landscape.”

Ali Malek has over 25 years of professional experience in the planning, design, and construction of a range of architectural projects; from single family homes and condominiums; to multi-unit residential buildings, mixed-use complexes, as well as community and institutional developments.

 

His design philosophy focuses on sophisticated simplicity and volumetric playfulness; clean lines, classic forms and minimal elements characterize his design aesthetic. Ali pays close attention to keeping his projects human-centred and is driven by integrating client goals with design intent. Ali leads a dedicated studio team from feasibility design to contract admin and project completion with a focus on integrating modernist design with high-tech components, minimalism with sustainability.

 

Ali is passionate about architecture. If he had to do it over again, without question, he would choose the field of architecture again and again. He began his career at a young age by participating in a co-op program and completed his master’s degree in 1995. Ali is a registered licence architect with the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) and a member of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC).

INTERIOR DESIGN

Quotation

A designer drawn to quiet beauty and the emotional power of space. I create interiors that feel rather than perform, rooted in texture, light, and a deep sense of belonging.

Based in Toronto, I focus on residential and boutique commercial projects, working closely with local developers on design, visualization, and on-site execution. Each project becomes a layered dialogue between architecture, material, and memory.

Inspired by my father, a respected architect in China, I grew up immersed in design thinking. I later served as a design advisor to his firm before founding my studio, carrying forward a legacy while shaping my voice.

To me, design is never static. Styles shift, perspectives evolve. But what stays constant is the desire to create spaces that feel honest, intimate, and alive.
