KPMB Architects

KPMB is an internationally recognized architectural practice based in Toronto. The firm's wide-ranging work has earned over 400 respected awards, including 18 Governor General's Medals, Canada's highest honour. Founding partners Bruce Kuwabara, Marianne McKenna, and Shirley Blumberg have all received the Order of Canada for their personal achievements and for KPMB's collective contributions to improving people's lives through the built environment. For more than three decades, KPMB has evolved in response to a changing world – and worked to change it for the better. In 2021, KPMB expanded its leadership team, including the naming of seven new partners: Kevin Bridgman, Steven Casey, Phyllis Crawford, Andrew Dyke, Mitchell Hall, Paulo Rocha, and Bruno Weber. As a full-service practice, KPMB's work spans a broad range of sectors, including education, healthcare, scientific research, arts and culture, government, corporate, hospitality, recreation and mixed-use development. Guided by vision and anchored by values, KPMB is committed to shaping a more equitable and sustainable future through architecture and design. In 2015, the firm founded the KPMB LAB, an incubator of ideas, skills and services aimed at solving important problems and exploring new opportunities through collaborative innovation.
