Our Region
The development of our A49 office in Winnipeg, was driven by the growth of the city as the Western Canadian headquarters for banks and insurance companies; a central transportation hub for the country; and a strong arts and cultural mecca. Our portfolio reflects a wide range of the seminal architectural projects in Winnipeg that have shaped the city skyline. Our climate extremes provide a dynamic force that has informed our design and technical knowledge, and given us a unique perspective of the value of sustainability. With a strong focus on complex, often one-of-a-kind projects, our team thrives on approaching projects from a collaborative, interdisciplinary framework. The Prairies are the home of our industry-leading Science and Technology practice group, who specialize in highly complex laboratory spaces in Canada and beyond. It is also home to a focused studio that services many First Nations people in Manitoba, North-Western Ontario and the far north with extensive experience in schools and health care centres.
Our People
A49 Winnipeg has a multi-disciplinary staff of architects, interior designers, landscape architects and urban planners. Culturally we embrace an open design dialogue and believe in an integrated design approach to all our projects. We are well versed in a range of delivery models and are known for our collaborative skill set honed by many successful relationships with other design firms, contractors and alternative delivery partners. Our people have deep expertise in complex building types such as biocontainment laboratories, museums and galleries, and mission critical facilities and participate on many technical advisory panels and industry boards.
