About the Firm

Thinkspace Architecture Planning Interior Design has been providing professional architectural services since 1963. With offices located in Surrey and Kelowna, BC, we have built a significant portfolio of new construction, renovations, additions and upgrades. These projects include numerous civic buildings, post-secondary experience, and institutional projects, including complex and simple renovations and additions to existing structures, often fully occupied and operational, ranging up to $50 million in value.

Our Design Philosophy

Our aim is to produce buildings of simple elegance and appropriate materials; buildings that exploit design opportunities as they present themselves; buildings that facilitate the aspirations of those who use them.
