Bortolotto

“The most interesting aspect about a school design project is the opportunity to put oneself in the mindset of a young person, to understand how she or he feels, plays, works, and interacts.”

Bortolotto is a Canadian architecture and interior design firm that was founded in 1999. Our mission is to deliver smart design solutions that enhance happiness, health and productivity. We believe that Architecture Matters and are inspired by the relationship between design and its impact on the human experience and our quality of life.

Our experience spans all sectors and is tied together by our shared commitment to the delivery of architecture that is meaningful, memorable, unexpected and uplifting. The success of our firm is rooted in design excellence, smart design solutions and the research and implementation of technological advancements in architecture.

Our designs result from a healthy and balanced office culture that emphasizes a collaborative approach, shared knowledge, professional learning opportunities and a “work smarter, not longer mentality.” Bortolotto is licensed by both the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) and the Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO).
