Welcome to our Calgary studio

Like the city we call home, our Calgary studio is full of energy. It’s no coincidence we’re on the Red Mile: we’re burning with creativity, passionate about making a positive difference. Being part of this dynamic entrepreneurial community and helping to shape its future through design is a privilege we take seriously. We’re a nimble team from diverse backgrounds, committed to collaboration and driven to create sustainable architecture unique to our prairie context. You could say we’re a bit like the chinook winds in a way: a force for positive transformation.

Today, we’re celebrating #EarthDay! 🌍We believe that #sustainabledesign is holistic. Understanding how people use a building can help us reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment. Our goal in providing Carbon Forecasts for our clients’ projects is to share feedback and data so that we can both make better-informed decisions that will help promote a #healthyfuture for all of us. Our first client to receive this tool is @westernwashingtonuniversity in Bellingham, Washington in partnership with our Seattle studio.

Kaiser Borsari Hall, the University’s future home for electrical engineering, computer science, and energy science, will be the only carbon-neutral academic facility in the region—and one of only a handful in the U.S.—when it opens in 2024. The building will surpass LEED standards for energy use, carbon reduction, and other environmental indicators, and will pursue certification through the International Living Future Institute. Kaiser Borsari Hall is a cornerstone in Western’s plan to become the Pacific Northwest’s first #carbonneutral university campus, and our Carbon Forecast is a valuable tool to realize that plan.

We are proud to be recognized as one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People (2022)!

Now marking its 20th year, Canada's Top Employers for Young People is an editorial competition that recognizes employers offering the nation’s best workplaces and programs for young people starting their careers. Winners of the competition are chosen by the editorial team at @topemployers project based on the programs and initiatives they offer to attract and retain younger workers.

Follow the link in our bio to find out some of the reasons why we were selected as one of Canada's Top Employers for Young People (2022).

Through our Social Purpose program, we’ve partnered with inspiring organizations that extend a hand to people in need, and now, we’re sharing their stories in “Together, We Design,” a book about everyday heroes making a positive difference in their communities.

The selection of projects within this book are spread across housing security, education, healthcare access, climate justice, and community building. But what they all have in common is that they show that design has the power to make people’s lives better, too. That’s why we’re proud to collaborate with these heroes on projects designed from the heart—places and spaces that create joy and strengthen the spirit of community.

As we move forward in 2022, we wish to honor them by telling—and celebrating—their stories, which have moved us immeasurably. We hope they’ll move you, too.
