Making spaces and places

 Design is an enthralling dance between the architect and the client – and it is never much fun to dance alone. We want to unleash the innovation locked within this correlation, within the distinctive needs and desires of the client, within the spontaneous moment and its material presence. This ensures a stunning arithmetic where 1 + 1 = something entirely unexpected.

Who we are

Dunsmuir Institute Architects was founded by a Swedish Architect and American historian who shared the same love of design innovation.  We started by asking some basic questions: What if we reject the idea of what design is and start to think about what is possible?  What if there were no distinctions like: high and low design, modern and traditional but rather what’s right, relevant and meaningful – what truly impacts our everyday life? What is the realm of design possibilities? What kinds of buildings would you dream up? What stories would you tell?

We established Dunsmuir Institute Architects for one purpose, to build great ideas, to unleash the creative potential of unexpected strategies and executions – to celebrate difference and the inexplicable.  Every new design challenge, every new client, was suddenly an opportunity to pursue something different, a chance to balance the passion for great design with an understanding of what matters now.
