Teeple Architects is an architecture firm based in Toronto founded by Stephen Teeple,[1] in the year 1989. The firm is known to design several buildings in Canada,[2] that focus on urban development, and sustainable design.
Stephan Teeple established the firm in Toronto in 1989 and has completed numerous large-scale projects relating to university campus residences and student centres. The firm also has an extended background in various works recognized in institutional, commercial, and residential buildings throughout the Toronto area and beyond the Canadian border. Projects from Teeple Architects are often praised for their creative and successful design responses to the surrounding site, such as reducing carbon emissions within their materials and designs to positively impact the climate, to bringing awareness to social-cultural issues whilst being restricted to tight budgets. On a local, national, and international scale, the work of Teeple Architects has received recognition for design excellence and sustainability. These accolades include six Governor General's Medals for Architecture, Canada's highest architectural honour, the Holcim Award for sustainable innovation, and more than 28 LEED awards.
Education
Teeple's works include 60 Richmond Street East Housing Co-operative in Toronto, completed in 2010.[3] Writing about the project in No Mean City, Canadian architecture critic Alex Bozikovic remarks, "It has the gutsy but practical spirit of Toronto's best architecture: It's green, hardy, and very inexpensive, and provides 85 large and comfortable apartments for Toronto Community Housing tenants."[4] In 2015, the studio completed the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum, which features an unusual geometric form[5] resembling a dinosaur with skin and bones[6] in Wembley, Alberta. In 2018, Stephen Teeple received an Honorary Degree from Trent University for adding four buildings to Symons Campus,[7] including the triangular, 34,000-square-foot Student Centre.[8]
