Dubbeldam Architecture + Design

Dubbeldam Architecture + Design is a multi-disciplinary design studio committed to creating thoughtful projects that embody sustainable approaches. Founded by architect Heather Dubbeldam, our studio has developed a reputation for innovative, beautifully crafted, and environmentally responsible architecture, interiors, and landscapes that support and enrich the human experience. We have been recognized as one of Canada’s leading architecture practices for our commitment to architectural excellence and dedication to social responsibility through advocacy. Our work ranges in scale and across various building typologies but consistently strives to reimagine. With a diverse portfolio embodying a wide range of project types that are unified in their dedication to the highest quality design, our work ranges from homes, multi-unit residential projects, workspaces, hospitality, and mixed-use buildings to landscape design and architectural installations. At every scale, we prioritize people-centred design, environmental and social sustainability, and liveability. We are committed to enhancing the public realm through our built work, design research, and advocacy. Our self-initiated design research focuses on developing approaches to address the shortage of housing options in urban areas by proposing incremental, rapid solutions to increase housing density, with an emphasis on supporting liveability for inhabitants. Our practice has been recognized with over 90 awards for design excellence, advocacy, and practice, including the Ontario Association of Architects Best Emerging Practice Award in our early years, the Canada Council for the Arts Professional Prix de Rome, the RAIC Advocate for Architecture Award, the 2024 RAIC Architectural Practice Award, and several Canada Green Building awards. Our work continues to generate international recognition.
