So much has changed in 25 years! Our first project as a newly formed firm was the design for an office development on Carling Avenue at Churchill. Interestingly, this past year we had the opportunity to propose a new office development at the same address. Not only have our design sensibilities changed, our tools have become increasingly sophisticated and yet accessible. Where once we produced coloured elevations to show what we were thinking (providing physical models and illustrations for only the biggest jobs), we now create digital 3D models with photo realistic renderings or even animations for the majority of our jobs. What might we be doing in another 25 years?

Our team also looked a little different in 1989…
