Vancouver-based architecture and urban design firm Hotson Bakker Boniface Haden Architects (HBBH) will join forces Jan. 28 with the long-established multi-disciplinary design firm Cohos Evamy integratedesign.

The firms said the vision behind the amalgamation is to build a national practice based on collaborative integrated design and the achievement of excellence. The newly formed entity will have studios in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto.

“We are excited with this unique national integrated design studio model,” said HBBH principal Norm Hotson.

HBBH is best known for mixed-use, urban designs such as the redevelopment of Vancouver’s Granville Island. Cohos Evamy has designed projects such as the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton, the Calgary International Airport expansion and Toronto’s upcoming Bay Adelaide East office tower.

“With their urban design focus, HBBH will provide an important contribution to an integrated practice model that is designed to address the complexities of dynamic sustainable environments, whether at the scale of individual buildings or entire communities,” said Tom Sutherland, managing principal of Cohos Evamy.
