A Vancouver-based design practice established in 2008, we focus on projects with social impact in affordable housing, education, child care, and civic sectors.

Working primarily in the public and non-profit sectors, PUBLIC is known for a collaborative and thoughtful approach to design that prioritizes sustainability, equity, and resilience.

Public Architecture is on the ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ Nations. Our aim is to uphold our responsibilities as good guests. Learning what this means is ongoing and will involve mistakes and humility.
