Lieux is a French noun meaning particular place(s), site(s), premise(s)

The Firm:

Since 2002, Lieux Architects Ltd. has designed and completed hundreds of projects in Toronto and further afield. Lieux deliberately maintains a diverse range of building types, to develop new skills, and bring the benefit of our varied experience to each new project.  We thrive on the challenges that each project brings.

The Principals:

Nathalie Bely (B.S. Arch, M Arch, O.A.A.) and Robert D. Macpherson (Robert D. Macpherson, *M Arch, Int’l Assoc. RAIC*) both received Masters degrees in Architecture at New York City's Columbia University in the early 1990s. They spent the next ten years working with leading architects in Toronto and New York to create residential, corporate, and institutional architecture including curtain-wall detailing for skyscrapers and large-scale historical projects. Then, they made Lieux.

Services:

Lieux provides complete services, from feasibility studies, building design, construction documents, contractor qualification, assistance with tendering and bid negotiation, provision of on-site review services, through to the completion of construction.  We undertake zoning and building code analyses, and coordinate applications for required municipal permits. We have long-term working relationships with top engineering firms in Toronto, and are able to assemble an experienced, multi-disciplinary team when required.

Our Approach:

Each project presents unique challenges and opportunities. We do not present ready-made solutions—we have not designed your project yet. Working closely with our clients we develop the best outcome.
