Teeple Architects Inc.

Teeple Architects Inc.

From its inception in 1989, Teeple Architects Inc. has built a
reputation for innovative design and exceptional service. The
firm established this reputation through a broad range of
institutional, commercial and residential projects including
community and recreation centres, libraries, schools and
university buildings. The firm has become known for designing
projects of exceptional material and spatial quality, with a
strong conceptual basis derived from the specific needs and
aspirations of each client.

The goal of Teeple Architects is to create innovative design
projects in which the architectural concept is intimately linked
to the day-to-day use and inhabitation of the building. An
ability to respond creatively to the dictates of the site,
context, budget and client requirements has characterized the
work of the office. In this era of specialization, the firm
believes in the continuing value of the general architectural
practice and to this end, has pursued work in the commercial,
institutional and residential fields, ranging in scope from
broad planning, major institutional projects, urban design
studies to highly detailed interiors.

The firm believes in an ongoing commitment to a high level of
caring, diligent architectural services must be combined with
innovative, creative design abilities to achieve true design
excellence. Careful consideration of the concerns which are
most critical to the client leads to buildings which are
efficient to operate and a pleasure to use. Successful
architecture results from dedication to the entire design and
construction process. To this end, at each stage of the
process, we seek to ensure that the detailed concerns of the
client and user are fully incorporated into the building.

Themes that have been explored through the ongoing work of the
firm include architecture as site, the space of landscape,
diverse space and translucent space. These themes have been
expressed through subtle compositions of material and texture,
and careful articulation to detail. This body of work has been
conceived in critical relation to the language of modernism in
an attempt to extend and further enrich its expressive force.

The firms dedicated and experienced team of twenty includes
three senior associates, who manage each project undertaken by
the firm. They are supported by an adept and skilled staff
composed of licensed architects, CAD technologists, technical
and support staff, and student interns. Stephen Teeple,
Principal of the firm, has over twenty years experience in all
aspects of architectural practice, on a diverse array of
residential, commercial, recreational and institutional
projects. He provides personalized attention to each project
executed from the firm.
