Thier + Curran Architects Inc. was founded in 2005 in Hamilton, Ontario, and is a dynamic, vibrant, and ambitious full-service design company. Their work is undeniably modern while remaining mindful of context and history. Their structures are clever and interesting. They go beyond the ordinary. Its diversified portfolio is based on two guiding principles: a highly collaborative design approach and an understanding that buildings and locations collaborate in the creation of places. CGS recognizes the expansion of the firm’s partnership with the promotion of Stevan Gacesa and Kyle Slote from senior associates to principals. Stevan and Kyle each joined the firm in 2007 and have been a longstanding part of the leadership team with Founding Principal Bill Curran. CGS Architects gives a new name to an established relationship built on complementary talent, diverse skills, and respect.
Their diverse portfolio is founded on two constant principles: a highly collaborative design approach and a recognition that buildings and sites themselves collaborate in the making of places. They aim to create architecture that is expressive and participatory, that responds to the human needs of habitation, and that draws on alliances with surroundings, landscape, the arts, and the rhythms of human activity. Their wide-ranging portfolio demonstrates their team’s versatility and inspires them to bring a fresh approach to each new assignment. CGS projects include education facilities, public buildings, housing, interiors, cultural facilities, commercial and mixed-use buildings, and healthcare projects. They undertake interior design and urban design projects and pay attention to even the most minute details—including designing their project’s signage. They work across Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean, but their focus is on their home: Hamilton and the surrounding region. Source: Thier + Curran Architects Inc.
