About
I am an RIBA chartered architect with 30 years of worldwide experience in the profession, and I have recently opened The Building Design Studio in Toronto, Canada.
We can provide you with very high quality 2D drawings and 3D models, permit application and for construction drawings, code and zoning comments, siting and building design and layout comments, interior layout comments, and landscape comments.
We also have years of experience working with other offices, contractors, engineers and other consultants in a knowledgeable way.
With our extensive experience in architecture and documentation, we aim to add value to your project, and to solve problems with you, not just provide generic drafting without judgment, or thinking of the bigger picture.
