people

For more than 100 years, we have been creating spaces that enhance the quality of life within them and the communities they serve. We call this people-driven design.
Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the studio is comprised of architects, interior designers, and planners committed to creating meaningful relationships between people, place, and building. Our studio is actively engaged in teaching, research, and practice to create a better shared future.
As a result, we work at multiple scales to create projects from neighbourhood greenhouses to community hospitals; seaside homes to mixed-use residential districts; and civic institutions to main streets in rural towns. Our designs are inspired by landscape and climate, social and ecological responsibility, and the rhythms of everyday life. We create spaces that bring people dignity and delight while enhancing the communities in which we work.
