Wishing him all the best in retirement!

What would you pick? 🥲
Love this moment in a project. Walls and lighting are in, floors are finally down, and you can almost hear the customers knocking at the door.
I’ll consider this my official employee of the month recognition 👍
Quiet approvals 🙃

Happy Valentine’s Day from Architects DCA! ♥️

Views from up here are really something. 👀
While we’re hoping the project across the street picks up again, things on our side are moving right along. Final elevator commissioning is underway, and yes… it’s been a real up and down experience. 😅

The work was serious. The moments in between… less so. See you in 2026
Merry Christmas and happy holidays from all of us at DCA! Our office will be closed from December 25 to January 2 as we take time to celebrate the season with loved ones. We look forward to connecting with you in the new year! 🎄
Drive-through progress we love to see. Final painting, signage, and setup are now underway.

If there’s one thing we’re good at, it’s finding ways to spend Toon’s money for a good cause!
We joined the AIA Canada Society × RIBA community for their Dickens Holiday Celebration and had such a great night connecting with everyone. Loved celebrating the 2025 AIA Canada Design Award winners.
The architectural community lost Frank Gehry. He pushed the boundaries of form, material, & urban expression, proving that architecture can be sculptural and socially meaningful. His contributions will remain a defining reference point for designers around the world.
