Open Practice Inc. is a design led firm offering services in community and urban planning, sustainable architecture, and furniture design. Formed in 2008, Open Practice Inc. is an intentionally small studio forming project specific teams tailored to suit your project. At Open Practice, we believe the strength of a collaborative architecture lies in: viewing the client as a key team member throughout the entire design process; including non-traditional partners in the collaborative team; and having access to qualified and well suited resources. Open Practice fosters working relationships with a network of other design professionals, contractors, consultants, craftspeople, academic institutions, government agencies and financial institutions. With experience both locally and internationally, Open Practice draws upon an extensive range of resources. It
is, however, the regional network of any particular project which roots the
project in its context. Open Practice is continually building relationships
with local resources; people who recognize the inherent characteristics of a
place. It is here that opportunities are found to create a regional architecture that is both culturally relevant and sustainable.
