a—A
a—A is a design practice based in Toronto engaged in the act of city building, providing full architectural services across a wide range of contexts, scales and building types—from schools, galleries and cultural centres, to affordable housing and mixed-use developments, to urban parks and civic precincts. We work with clients and collaborators in Canada, the United States, and Europe. We are designers, researchers and urbanists who care about the city, and take care to create spaces that give meaning and invention to the ways we live and work.
WE ARE HIRING! We have good projects in need of good people. Join our team and help us make better and more liveable cities.

A masterful composition of texture and natural light. The delicate building skin adds magic to an otherwise simple and economical building massing. [...] A great contemporary interpretation of Islamic architecture.
A valuable precedent for Canadian architecture – nodding to history while exploring new ground.
We think something’s done and it’s never done. The interesting thing about cities is that they’re never finished.
