Ramsay Worden Architects Ltd. has been active since 1989 in the practice of architecture and urban planning with a consistency of quality, care, and imagination. The firm has developed a reputation for innovative design both in well established contexts and in the creation of new communities - design which serves the needs of the individual and at the same time supports the patterns and character of the community. 

In all of our work, this has meant being responsive to a wide range of factors, from budget considerations to climate appropriate design. Our commitment to environmental responsibility is maintained by constantly expanding the scope of our knowledge and experience to encompass issues of sustainability at all levels. These skills and insights are continuously being translated to our projects.

We have a wide range of experience, including projects for public institutions as well as for private developers, new construction and renovation. Our successful work in developing new housing and community prototypes throughout the Lower Mainland, as well as the care and quality of our

 


individual buildings, has resulted in ongoing assignments with a variety of clients, as well as with planning staff in the creation of design guidelines. The reputation of our firm has also led to significant commissions in Asia and the USA.

Experience in both the private and public sectors, with a variety of issues and priorities, has led to a cross-pollination of ideas and solutions between the two: rapid turnaround time, adherence to schedule, creativity within strict financial proformas, responding to client and user groups, understanding needs and desires, working with regulatory authorities to facilitate the approvals procedures, etc. Our clients include industry leaders who value our creative talents as well as our attention to detail.

Our company consists of a team of experienced and dedicated individuals - many of our staff have been with the firm since the early days of its inception.  Because of this experience, all of our projects have key staff members continuously involved from initial design stages right through to completion of construction.
