Hilditch Architect, Toronto, ON

Design impacting society Hilditch Architect is committed to providing support to both clients and end users in a way that helps make the process of creating the built environment more understandable and approachable. We believe that the natural environment should not be compromised by the built environment. Our work is based upon a set of beliefs that include an emphasis on process as an important partner in the final execution of the work. This makes communication, patience, sensitivity and respect for other points of view important for the successful outcome of the project. We mediate between the many interests that influence a project. We establish common ground through a thorough understanding of the issues, and, through honesty and experience, we seek to suggest a compromise that balances the constraints and the desires of the people whose interests are represented and affected by the execution of the work. We seek to foster community development through our projects, and to empower our projects' end users. We frame the larger scale of projects into smaller, more familiar groupings based on an understanding of how people operate and what is needed to feel at home. We uphold equal opportunity and non-discrimination policies by which discrimination on the grounds of race, creed, colour, national origin, political or religious affiliation, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, family relationship, and disability are prohibited by or within the firm.
