Canada possesses a proud architectural tradition, its landscape dotted with structural testaments to design innovation. From the rugged coasts of Newfoundland to the urban centres of British Columbia, Canadian architects have carved out a distinct identity that blends sustainability, functionality, and striking aesthetics.

An architecture business is, at its core, a service-oriented business. You are selling your expertise, not a physical product. If you have the skills to execute projects—including code analysis, design, and technical detailing—you are ready!

Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal, Montreal’s most iconic spiritual landmark, has unveiled a transformative new pavilion. Designed by the architecture firm Lemay, this four-storey intervention creates a seamless connection between the city, the mountain, and the basilica.

Architects focus on the "Why"—the creative vision, artistic concept, and how a building affects its environment. Architectural Technologists focus on the "How"—the science of building, technical detailing, and the physical construction of that vision.

The choice between a solid slab or a tiled backsplash is entirely up to you, but selecting the right material is about more than just aesthetics. It should reflect your personality, stand up to your cooking habits, and harmonize with your overall design style. To help you decide, we’ve broken down the pros, cons, and unique characteristics of each.

For decades, the Metropolitan Expressway (Autoroute 40) has been the backbone of Montreal’s transit, but it has also been a scar running across the island. Built in the mid-20th century, this elevated concrete ribbon divides neighbourhoods, creates noise and pollution, and occupies valuable urban space.

Combining beauty with utility, Hamilton-based Curran, Gacesa Slote (CGS) Architects completes a landmark affordable housing project that proves cost-effective design doesn't have to look institutional.

Architecture is one of the few disciplines that perfectly bridges the gap between art and engineering, creativity and logic. For students looking to embark on this journey, Canada offers some of the most respected and rigorous architectural education in the world.

In this guide, we will dive deep into why colour is crucial, explore the psychology behind every major hue, and provide actionable strategies to master your home’s aesthetic.

The intersection of architecture, agriculture, and hospitality is a delicate space, requiring designers to balance human experience with deep respect for the natural world. The Valli Wine Tasting Room competition invites architects and designers to explore this very intersection by proposing a contemporary wine tasting space for Valli Unite, a pioneering agricultural cooperative nestled in the rural hills of Piedmont, northern Italy.

In the heart of downtown Toronto, a transformative infrastructure project is underway that promises to redefine how the city cares for its most vulnerable seniors. The Rekai Centre at Cherry Place is not just a new long-term care home; it is a direct response to the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic.

My research quickly revealed that the 'cladding' in the Canadian consciousness is vastly different from the high-performance systems utilized in European design. In Europe, cladding is celebrated as the defining element of contemporary architecture, used to characterize the most cutting-edge residential and commercial projects.

The kitchen is the room where stories are shared over coffee, where guests are welcomed with a glass of wine, where remote work happens at the island, and where creativity flourishes.

In the heart of Montreal’s Peter-McGill district, a new kind of civic institution has emerged—one that challenges the traditional boundaries between library, gallery, and town hall. Centre Sanaaq, a 5,310-square-metre "civic hub", occupies the podium levels of a high-rise complex on the former site of the Montreal Children’s Hospital.

The sofa is rarely just a piece of furniture. It is the architectural anchor of your living room, the communal hub where families gather to reconnect, the welcoming embrace for your guests, and your personal sanctuary for unwinding after a long day. Because it plays such a central role in the rhythm of daily life, selecting a new sofa is a decision that requires both thought and care.
