Architecture

Beyond design and borders

Smith Carter’s founding vision of an integrated architectural and engineering firm has formed the basis of our philosophy towards design for more than 60 years – long before the Integrated Design Process was formally established and adopted in the industry.

For us, collaboration and getting the active involvement and input from our client, the engineering team, our interior designers and landscape architects, and the specialty consultants we bring in for the needs of a specific project has always made good sense. It’s the DNA that makes us who we are.

Led by Lee McCormick, an award-winning architect with extensive industry experience across Canada, our team has specialized expertise in designing highly complex projects in all methods of construction project delivery. Our architectural team supports projects in each of our practice areas – Science and Technology, Security and Defense, Health Care and Urban Impact.

As leaders in these markets, our architects have expert level knowledge in design of technically challenging environments which demand not only superior architecture skills, but in-depth understanding of what must be considered and accomplished when creating these sophisticated facilities. Decades of specialization and a project portfolio that includes many “firsts” and innovations created by our integrated team showcase the capacity of our team.

From the needs of high security national defense projects, to specialized laboratories for the world’s most dangerous organisms, to creating health care environments and world-class landmarks, Smith Carter’s architects contribute to some of the most high risk and high profile projects around the world.
