For over 60 years, we’ve worked with clients across the globe to design buildings and environments that are inspiring, functional, and contextual.
At B+H we believe in the power of design to transform spaces, communities, and economies. We enable our clients’ visions through customized designs that exceed their business goals and inspire the people that live, work, heal, play, and learn within them. We view every challenge as an opportunity for learning and never lose sight of the people we’re designing for – regardless of the type of development, scale, scope, or geography involved.
Our bold design solutions are inspired by the confidence that’s derived from honed insight, active listening, fearless entrepreneurialism, and a collaborative fusion of perspectives. Design performance achieved through constant innovation, accountability, hands-on service, cultivating talent, and being a champion for diversity in all its forms – these are the things we value.

Our
Educational & Institutional Philosophy
Our philosophy of design is exemplified by our commitment to interdisciplinary teams with a common integrated design approach. We know that our best work is the product of this “partnership” in which programming and planning is inextricably linked with the civic environment, landscape architecture, architecture, and sustainable design. Our project teams are tailored to provide the balance appropriate to each client and project, so decisions about buildings are fully integrated with decisions about the future growth of a campus. As we implement our design approach, firm principals, charged with direct client contact and accountability, orchestrate and inspire the team while tapping into the vast knowledge base within the firm. B+H is committed to developing innovative models for campus living and community integration based on the way people live, learn, socialize, recreate and do business as well as
the values that communities wish to embody in their campus institutions. Accordingly, our projects often leverage specific campus program to further strengthen a sense of place and to enhance community organization. A well thought out development, is one of a community’s most valuable assets. It affects the perceptions of prospective staff, students and neighbours, supports the community experience and makes an enduring and lasting impression. We never forget the greater purposes inherent in our design endeavors – the wise stewardship and best use of land; the openness, vitality and sustainability of the public realm; the furtherance of the educational missions of the institutions; and the creation of enduring architecture and sustainable environments that will last multiple generations.

The University of Toronto Faculty of Law Renewal Project Location Toronto, Canada Size 177,000 ft2 | 16,500 m2 Status Completed 2016 Client University of Toronto Collaboration B+H Architects (Executive Architects) and Hariri Pontarini Architects (Design Architect) In recent years, the size and state of the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Law buildings were holding the school back. Lack of space was posing restrictions on class sizes, faculty office availability, extracurricular events and student interaction, with the law school’s buildings ranking as the #1 source of student dissatisfaction in each of the last four years. Slated to open in 2015, the faculty’s new Jackman Law building is designed to provide the school with an additional 66,000 square feet of space in an iconic new home. A dramatic wing overlooking Queen’s Park Crescent will create a new landmark in the area with a rhythmic façade of glass and nickel fins. The crescent-shaped design follows the curve of the street in front of it to fully embrace the site’s prominent location. The new wing will include a 210-student lecture hall designed to function as both a classroom and a moot court, several seminar halls, a new student commons
lounge and forum space, faculty and staff offices and a new food services outlet. Built as a link between this addition and the school’s existing Bora Laskin Law Library, a new Law Forum space will be created to act as a link and a social hub -- helping to integrate the Faculty of Law’s newest addition in with the school’s historic past and foster an improved sense of community. Construction will also include renovations to the library, adding a new, two-storey reading room. An additional, light renovation to the school’s historic Flavelle House will reduce the building’s energy use by 13%. Altogether, the new facilities will double the law school’s existing space and provide a world-class environment for student learning, interaction and engagement. B+H is the project’s Executive Architect, with Toronto firm Hariri Pontarini Architects working as the Design Architect.

Eagle Mountain Middle School Location Anmore, Canada Size 58,437 ft2 | 5,429 m2 Status Completed 2015 Client Coquitlam School District (No. 43) Certification Registered and targeting LEEDÂŽ Gold
Located in the Village of Anmore, the Eagle Mountain Middle School is nestled in the base of the mountains within an idyllic community, which has managed to maintain its semi-rural, natural environment. Bordered by parkland, old growth forests, and lakes, the placement of the building on a former landfill site takes full advantage of its natural surroundings. These links with nature also play a critical role in the education of its students through carefully considered light-filled spaces, which seamlessly integrate into the neighbouring landscape. Featuring a steeply sloped three-level tiered design, the main classrooms, and media centre are arranged around an elevated central courtyard, which has been set one storey above the gymnasium and exploration level. The common courtyard is a space for exploration where students discover and interpret lessons learned from the classroom through direct and hands-on application.
The lower level support spaces and gymnasium, the intermediate level healthy living area and shops, and the upper level classrooms and courtyard, are all connected by a stepped central hall that acts as a primary gathering space, forming the heart of the school. Through thoughtful experiences within its spaces, the school inspires teachers, staff, and visitors alike. Special design emphasis was put on evolving the classroom pods, the informal breakout spaces in the corridors, and the healthy living (art/foods/textiles) space. The building also includes an infant/child care centre, and a flexible gymnasium and multi-purpose hall, which are shared between the school and the community.

The building is designed to separate the school into three main building components: Middle School, High School and a Central Building for shared spaces. By programmatically separating the middle and high school classrooms into two distinct buildings located at opposite
boundaries of the site, this creates two sub-campuses, each centered around its own private sunken courtyard. For ease of access, students share all common areas in the Central Building, linked by an open multi-level corridor which serves as the circulation and organizational Spine for the building – as well as forming its main façade.

Surrey District Education Centre Location Surrey, Canada Size 125,000 ft2 | 11,611 m2 Status Completed 2011 Client School District No. 36 (Surrey) Certification LEED® Canada-NC Gold
This project consolidates the client’s program to provide an integrated facility which unifies the School District’s administrative offices under one roof. The evolution of the overall building concept, massing and configuration was conceived through a considered balance between program and the environment. Bisecting the overall building program to achieve shallow floor plates allows for maximum daylight harvesting and passive
ventilation. The two primary program blocks were then skewed and rotated creating a central daylight atrium which serves as the primary gathering space. The highly expressive and gestural building form reinforces the client’s desire for a highly visible project with a clearly identifiable physical presence in the heart of Surrey, BC.
