Welcome to our Toronto studio
Located in the heart of one of the world’s most culturally diverse cities, we’re an interdisciplinary studio of forward-thinking individuals. We believe in the power of design to transform people’s lives by transforming the places in which they live, learn, work, and play. We take pride in shaping communities at every scale. Our studio reflects who we are: diverse, creative, and curious. It’s an active “laboratory” that fuels experimentation and research, a forum for discussions with our clients and community, and a gallery showcasing our work and our people.

Our studio is a welcoming place for the broader design community. 50% of our studio is dedicated to space for community and culture. From symposiums to social events, we reach beyond our walls to learn, teach, and inspire. This includes our weekly studio social hour, conferences on sustainability, and panel discussions.
We hold bi-weekly internal project design discussions to provide an open forum in which questions can be answered, assumptions clarified, and advice sought. This feedback optimizes the design of each and every project.
Year after year, our studio is proud to be recognized as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers ―demonstrating our commitment to environmental leadership, well-being, and a socially engaged workplace culture. In 2022, we have also been recognized as one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People.

The @TRCA_HQ @TheMeadoway will use nature to connect TO’s downtown with the Don River Valley and Rouge National Urban Park. It is a blueprint for revitalization and an example of active, linear greenspace: a precedent for future hydro corridor restoration.

For the @Park_People 10th anniversary, I wrote about @TheMeadoway - it's way more complex than just letting the grass grow, as I found out researching it. 16km of linear meadow thru Scarborough, from the Don to Rouge rivers. https://parkpeople.ca/2021/11/18/the-meadoway/
