Dustin Wardrop

Dustin is a thoughtful and steady presence within the studio, known for his collaborative approach to design and extensive experience with materials.

With a background shaped through hands-on fabrication, human-centric design, and cutting edge research, Dustin supports his colleagues not only through design thinking, but also through understanding how 2D idea are translated into 3D built form. 

Methodical in his process, Dustin values precision and diligent design over grand gestures. While he appreciates conceptual clarity, he believes great architecture is realized through its details and exists to support the users that will occupy it for the rest of its existence.  

His perspective is informed by time spent working closely with materials, and being immersed in the landscapes of British Columbia.  He cares deeply about the impact of the built environment while simultaneously remembering that architecture exists for the people.  How it feels, how it functions, and how it supports daily life. 

Outside the studio, Dustin draws inspiration from the mountains, forests, and ocean where he lives and works, spending his time outdoors with his wife and their dog Shiloh, or on a pitch partaking in his lifelong passion, soccer.
