Zeidler Partnership Architects Information

Zeidler Partnership Architects is a Canadian architectural firm focused on design excellence, innovation and working with clients in a range of complex project types. One of the longest continually running practices in North America, we are based in Toronto, Ontario, and we are an international firm with offices in Calgary (Zeidler BKDI), Victoria, London, Berlin, Beijing, Chengdu, and Abu Dhabi. Senior partner Vaidila Banelis, and partners Rob Eley, Jurgen Henze, Andrea Richardson, and Ping Zhang, lead a dedicated team whose architectural vision is informed by sound practical expertise. Our ability to create engaging and inspiring buildings has been recognized by more than 160 awards, including eight Governor General’s Medals, Canada’s highest architectural honour, and five legacy Landmark Awards from the Ontario Association of Architects. We celebrate these achievements with our clients and we share with them the ongoing stories as these buildings stand the test of time. Quality is the foundation of our practice — quality of design, process, and service. We believe that excellent architecture emerges from a project’s physical and social relationships with its surroundings, and from a client’s unique culture. Our goal is to fulfill each client’s functional and economic requirements while evoking a positive response from the people who will use the space. The result is buildings that are a pleasure to own and to be in — buildings that are at once enduring, relevant, and inventive, buildings that contribute to their communities and are catalysts for new ways of thinking.
