Approach
Quinn Design Associates is committed to design excellence on every project. Our firm strives to address and balance complex design, social, and environmental issues. We approach each project with a keen interest in addressing the site, its architecture, and the larger urban context to create a contemporary and dynamic design. We are enthusiastic collaborators within our firm, with the project team, and with our clients.
Our diverse portfolio of successfully built projects for both private and public clients demonstrates our dedication to sound design principles and seeing projects through to completion. We are as committed to ensuring that our clients achieve their objectives as we are to environmental sustainability, and to creating places that delight and inspire.
Experience
Quinn Design Associates has completed dozens of projects in a range of sectors both in Canada and internationally: from University and civic buildings to hospitals, offices, retail centres, multi-unit residential projects, and hospitality projects.
We fully understand design issues, project approvals, and construction processes, and actively share our knowledge both within our firm and as part of project teams.
Our years of experience in various project delivery models, from traditional design-bid-build to design-build-finance-maintain, informs our process. Quinn Design Associates has successfully fulfilled the role of landscape architects in both compliance and proponent roles on a number of Public Private Partnership projects procured through Infrastructure Ontario.
