25 Best Architecture Firms in Toronto

Toronto, Canada’s largest city, underwent an unprecedented building boom during the 20th and 21st centuries. From an array of perfectly designed condominiums, such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Toronto-Dominion Centre, to iconic historic structures like the Flatiron Building and John Andrews’ CN Tower — which held the title of the world’s tallest free-standing structure for over three decades — Toronto is considered one of the most global and diverse architectural settings in the Western world.

In the early 2000s, Toronto became an alluring site for postmodernist architects such as Daniel Libeskind and Frank Gehry, who have also contributed to the city’s architectural landscape. Their designs: the Royal Ontario Museum’s extension Michael Lee-Chin Crystal and the Art Gallery of Ontario blend function with aesthetic and create architecture that is far from conventional.

Unsurprisingly, during the last couple of years, the focus of Toronto-based architects has shifted to sustainability and natural materials. Mass timber construction has become the go-to material for mid-rise and high-rise buildings, which include completed projects such as the 80 Atlantic and T3 Bayside, while the city’s environmental goal to achieve net zero by 2040 is already underway. Social housing has also developed into an emerging — and necessary — “architectural trend.” Introducing the concept of the “missing middle,” architects undertake mid-scale residential projects, creating neighborhoods that sit in between the towers and the suburban single-family homes, thus monitoring the density and population sprawling throughout the city.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Toronto based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

• The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2024)
• The number of A+Awards finalists (2013 to 2024)
• The number of projects selected as “Project of the Day” (2009 to 2024)
• The number of projects selected as “Featured Project” (2009 to 2024)
• The number of projects uploaded to Architizer (2009 to 2024)

Each of these metrics is explained in more detail at the foot of this article. This ranking list will be updated annually, taking into account new achievements of Toronto architecture firms throughout the year.

Without further ado, here are the 25 best architecture firms in Toronto:
