Prior to forming Measured in 2007 I spent nine years as an architect for Bing Thom Architects in Vancouver working on commissions that included the redevelopment and expansion of the Arena Stage Theatre in Washington, DC, and the Surrey Campus of Simon Fraser University. Working alongside Bing Thom, I played a pivotal role as project architect on both commissions, which garnered international attention and won the firm numerous awards.In particular, the SFU building was recognized for a Special Jury Prize in France’s Marche International desProfessionels de l’Immobilier.At Measured, I have actualized his vision to create a firm where architects can fully engage and collaboratewith clients, builders and other artisans to create outcomes that far surpass the sum of the individuals involved.It’s here I am able to combine hard-earned, traditional architectural roots and technical skill with thelearned core values from the past. Among those values are a duty of care to the environment — which Measured exercises through its continuous pursuit of local, sustainable materials and partnerships with local crafts people — and a sense of responsibility to clients that manifests in trust relationships and, ultimately, the delivery of authentically functional, enduring and beautiful spaces.
