Unison architecture is a Vancouver based studio that works closely with community leaders throughout BC, bringing access to much needed services and improving the quality of life in our communities for the long term. Appreciating that each project and community embody their own set of opportunities and challenges; Unison elucidates uniquely responsive designs for each unique community and context through open dialog and collaboration. The goal is functional architecture that meets the needs of our stakeholders, limits our impact on the environment, and most importantly goes above and beyond norms to resonate with the ambitions of our evolving communities.
As a full-service architecture firm, Unison brings decades of collective experience to work on each project, from the feasibility study stage all the way to its completion and post construction services. Successful buildings require a diversity of input, iteration, and coordination. Thus, our designs begin with needs assessments, community consultations, comprehensive research, and detailed site analyses. These inputs are distilled in the form of ideation sketches and diagrams which are then tested and iterated upon using cutting-edge processes and software, including: 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM), Laser Cutting, and Virtual Reality (VR). Unison Architecture’s attention to details and comprehensive coordination with clients, consultants, and builders ensure a positive outcome and a quality product.
Unison Architecture is currently working with several small communities and First Nations. We are always seeking to collaborate on public and private projects, be they urban, suburban, or remote. We pride ourselves in the quality of our service, and seek to build trust and long-term relationships with our clients.
