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.
