The creative and intelligent evolution of both the design process and the craft of architecture guides our work.

Our insight and expertise, gained over two decades of producing professionally recognized projects, ensures efficient and elegant buildings attuned to their own unique context and conditions.

We continually reappraise our practices to develop new strategies that promote the health and well-being of occupants and the responsible management of resources.

Join us at Facades+ Vancouver on October 27 for “Highly Engineered High Rises: Fifteen Fifteen Alberni”!

A series of stacked, physics-defying glass-enclosed cantilevers compose the distinctive facade of Fifteen Fifteen Alberni. Our Principal, Vincent Knudsen, along with Tom Hickman from Axiom Builders and Brett Pattrick from Stantec share the technical story behind bringing this unique facade to life.

Every SkyTrain station tells a different neighbourhood’s story.

Francl Architecture Principals Judy Liu and Jose Gonzalez are heading to Toronto this September for the Mpact Transit + Community Conference.
They’ll be speaking on the Surrey Langley SkyTrain project: a 16km extension of the Expo Line bringing 8 new stations and 3 transit exchanges to Surrey and Langley, BC.
Their session digs into how station design can balance system-wide consistency with neighbourhood character, and how transit-oriented development around each stop can shape safer, more recognizable communities.

Come hear about how architecture and landscape design can change the way we engage with infrastructure in our cities.

20 slides, 20 seconds. One story. The art of concise presentation aka PechaKucha is always a great way to capture the hearts and minds of an audience in a succinct fashion. Which is why we are so proud that our very own Baiyi Chen, Associate at Francl Architecture was invited to speak at Introba’s Power by PechaKucha event at .

Her topic is about Stories Told in Wood: leləm̓ Community Centre explores the narrative power of material and place. We cannot wait for all of you to hear it.

One of our greatest sources of pride at Francl is our team’s dedication to accessible design. When members of our firm chose to invest their time and careers in achieving the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility accreditation, we were proud to support them, embracing that commitment into the way we practice every day.

A sneak peek of what’s to come: our next post will highlight the Chinese Canadian Museum, which has recently achieved RHF Accessibility Certification.
