Philosophy

The firm strives for excellence through an inclusive “client first” design approach.

ARCA-VERDE is a collaborative architectural design studio focused on client service. The firm strives for excellence through an inclusive “client first” design approach placing the client at the center of the team. The ARCA-VERDE approach focuses on design excellence, contextual regionalism, and an inclusive attitude toward the environment and humanity. This approach has been recognized locally and provincially with a design award and numerous nominations.

The ARCA-VERDE approach represents the client’s needs and the project’s location in the built form. We strive for a connection of client needs, project budget, and site context to develop a strong sense of place and do not subscribe to any style. We work exclusively with building information modelling tools as we believe the result is a better project and assists with client comprehension. Within the ARCA-VERDE philosophy is a belief that every project offers an opportunity to develop something of merit, and every participant has a voice.
