About
Launched in 1996, Simmonds Architecture (formerly Christopher Simmonds Architect Inc.) is recognized as one of Ottawa’s leading practitioners of contemporary architecture. Led by Principal, Chris Simmonds, our team of architects, designers and technologists works with clients in a streamlined approach through all phases of a project. Our first commitment is to design excellence. This has led to a diverse portfolio of award-winning projects including: single-family homes and cottages; multi-residential and mixed use buildings; commercial and public spaces; and cultural institutions.
We integrate innovation and creativity, conceiving modern designs that recognize the needs of both the client and the community. Simmonds Architecture has a reputation for maintaining an open dialogue with our clients, listening closely to their needs and providing solutions that exceed expectations. We accomplish this by beginning with the essential elements of each project — the client’s goals, the site, and the environment — and using those elements to guide the process.
