Taylor Architecture Group

Taylor Architecture Group Our office is located in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, with projects in communities throughout the arctic & sub-arctic regions of northern Canada.

Taylor Architecture Group (formerly Pin/Taylor Architects) is a small, vibrant, process driven practice with a focus on design solutions that are contextually appropriate to each specific project. Attention to detail and the importance of meaningful design related to climate and cultural considerations are critical to the success of projects in the North.

A model of a one-bedroom ‘small home’ designed by TAG. Intended for areas below the treeline, the home uses a centrally located woodstove for primary heating and features a compact, stacked ‘service core’ for mechanical systems. This allows the main living spaces to drop in temperature when the home is unoccupied, while minimal backup heat is required to protect mechanical systems from freezing.

The design is intended to make northern homes more affordable to operate and maintain, and systems less likely to break down. Designs were developed as part of a research project led by TAG, “Prototyping a Resilient Northern Home: Ongoing Barriers & Alternative Solutions,” funded in part by Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada.

Thanks to for making this adorable model. And to Gino Pin for an initial concept design!

This is one of our favourite photos from the TAG archives. Taken around the time the NWT Legislative Assembly Building was being built in the 1990s, it depicts the mural behind the Speaker’s Chair in the Chamber. The mural was commissioned by sculptor Ron Baird and is made of zinc, a material that features prominently throughout the building because of its northern provenance.

The Legislative Assembly Building was a joint venture between TAG (formerly Pin-Matthews Architects) and FSC Architects & Engineers, with construction documents produced by Matsuzaki Architects.

The facility was envisioned by the community as a residential hub within a continuum of care, intended to provide a culturally safe space for Witset First Nation youth.

Following the community’s direction, TAG designed the building to create a homelike feel, helping to de-stigmatize the space. Its interior also draws in the surrounding environment as much as possible. A solarium serves as a space for growing seedlings and as a quiet semi-outdoor area, with views of the nearby lake and mountain range. Natural elements such as birch and cedar are incorporated throughout the building.

Congratulations to Kamille, Kavita, Hani, and Heather on passing their architectural licensing exams! We're proud to recognize such an outstanding achievement!

Fun fact: the Northwest Territories had the highest success rate in Canada for this year's exams. We think these four TAG team members were a key part of that success 🎉😊

A few exterior shots of Tsë Lhts’ënc’il Nec’igekh Be Yikh (Split Rock Healing House) in Witset, BC. The building, designed by TAG, officially opened in the fall. It is intended to provide a safe and culturally responsive space where Witset First Nation youth can go to heal. ⁠

The building is designed to support healing through connections to culture, community and the land. Continuity between the building and the surrounding environment is therefore a driving theme. The lodge is nestled right into the hillside, allowing for easy access to a green roof. A network of pathways surrounding the facility connect to outdoor spaces, such as a ceremonial circle and vegetable gardens.

The building was completed by TAG in 2023. It provides nine independent living units for Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation Elders, enabling them to age safely within their own community. The units are arranged around a circular common area equipped with a woodstove, where residents can gather to share meals. Each unit provides an equal view of the water and surrounding landscape. ⁠
