with over thirty years of collaborative experience in
We are general
practitioners experienced and well-rounded in a broad range of commercial,
hospitality, residential and school projects, in the eight million dollar
construction range.
Our
services include all phases of the architectural process including re-zoning;
committee of adjustment; feasibility studies; building design and construction
documentation; construction contract administration and field reviews.
We
believe that a small general practice allows us to provide personal and
exceptional service to our clients and the community, from inception to project
completion.
We
believe the built environment enriches the quality of life and we foster a deep
commitment towards innovative design tempered by pragmatism gained from years
of experience. Our design approach is forged by the building program, motivated
in spirit by natural light, human scale, knowledgeable use of building
materials and appreciation of historical precedent. Preeminent in our
conceptual thinking is a focus on functional planning, spatial clarity and
attention to detail, these being the consequence of the specific project needs
and project goals.
We
cultivate a strong and positive relationship with craftsmen and builders to
achieve a continuum between design and the construction process, which we
believe to be fundamental in realizing a successful building project. We
collaborate with a team of skilled engineering consultants to provide the
specialized expertise required to meet the project objectives. Each project is
approached individually, responding to specific site constraints, context and
to meet client needs and budget requirements.
Our
design approach strives to be sensitive to people with special needs by
integrating the concept of universal design, which has been augmented by having
taught Barrier-Free Design courses in close liaison with the former
Barrier-Free Design Centre of Toronto.
Our work
on historical buildings has received an Award of Merit from the Toronto
Historical Board which recognized contributions towards awareness and
appreciation of our heritage.
