About Us
Founded in 1980 as a full-service practice, Iredale Group Architecture provides consulting services to clients throughout British Columbia. The firm's clients include school districts, municipalities, and regional districts, as well as corporations, institutions, provincial and federal government agencies, and private individuals.
Two established architectural practices -- Blewett Dodd Architecture Ltd. and Ib G. Hansen Architect Ltd. -- merged their resources with those of Iredale Group in 2006 and 2007, respectively, adding a significant complement of projects to the firm's diverse portfolio.
Iredale Group Architecture is pleased to announce our most recent merger, effective January 2012, with Dennis Maguire Architect (Whistler BC). Dennis' practice brings to the firm an extensive portfolio in luxury accommodations, as well as commercial and municipal projects. The merger provides the opportunity to service our Sea-to-Sky clients from our new Whistler office, and reinforces Iredale's commitment to innovative sustainable design and service excellence within the Sea-to-Sky corridor.
Our projects include cultural, educational, commercial, and residential facilities, as well as First Nations multi-use community complexes. In addition to architectural design and structural engineering, we offer expertise in sustainable master planning, building envelope science, space planning and interior design, and heritage restoration and adaptive reuse.
Community Places
As active members of both the Canada Green Building Council and the Cascadia Region Green Building Council, all of us at Iredale Group are dedicated to designing community places that incorporate sustainable design principles and that contribute to the vitality of community life: places that bring people of all ages together, that facilitate chance encounters and cultivate our social interactions and cultural connections.
"Successful community places nurture our universal need to belong and fulfill the desire to be part of something larger than ourselves. They are places where 'you claim it and it claims you', where ideas are shared, memories are made, and friendships are fostered." (Richard Iredale)
