About

MBAC is an architecture and design firm established in 1997 with offices in Calgary, AB and Nelson, BC.  

We work at multiple scales and in a wide variety of physical and conceptual contexts, but always with the objective of developing robust and resilient designs that can adapt to their environments as they evolve.

We commit to designing holistically because we believe the world can only be understood as a whole; consequently, we focus on creating a density of meaning that emerges through the synthesis of art, architecture, urban design, and landscape design.

Collaboration is central to our identity: it resonates as both a philosophy that structures our design process, as well as a practice for engaging the broader ecology of spaces, places and actions that together define the contemporary built environment. We use this comprehensive approach to work with clients, sub-consultants, contractors, and many others to develop and deliver architectural, urban, and landscape design excellence.
