Who We Are

Brander Architects is an approachable, knowledgeable, and creative design group based in Toronto. Our expertise is rooted in building design within its context of client goals, municipal framework, construction sensibilities, and environmental considerations. Our smart and innovative approach to design is complimented by a friendly disposition, creating a collaborative and welcoming setting for clients.

 

What We Do

Over the past 10 years, we’ve been designing and leading projects from idea to construction completion. We are inspired by how projects fit within the larger context, then drilling down into the details as unrelenting problem solvers at all scales. With a collaborative team dynamic, and commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable solutions, we are supported by our network of industry partners, and project stakeholders.

 

How We Do

Each project brings about a unique set of opportunities to be realized in a design. With attentive listening, understanding, and sensibilities from experience to date, we provide a thoughtful and skilled approach. We incorporate invaluable insights gained from past experience, whilst maintaining speculative inquisitiveness for future possibilities and project delivery.
