Design Excellence

We pursue design excellence in everything we do. Good design is a result of our understanding of the dynamics, philosophy, and culture of each client. Our attentiveness to our clients’ goals and our ability to respond creatively has resulted in a portfolio of award-winning, inspiring buildings that foster social engagement, facilitate excellence, and deliver enduring value.

Collaboration

Our partnerships with clients, consultants and collaborators drive the potential of our designs. Co-creation supports a deep understanding of project goals, allowing our team to work towards a shared vision. Our engagement process is inclusive and participatory.

Propelled by Curiosity

We are united by a shared passion for meaningful design and are continually pushing ourselves to be better. Zeidler employs best practices, industry trends and evidence-based design models to advance our learning, ensuring that each design meets its innovative potential. We are progressive in our designs and recognized for our ability to translate ideas into reality.

Realizing Value

We achieve economic sustainability by uniting innovation with financial objectives. We are proud of our ability to design spaces that focus on function and flexibility without sacrificing excellence. We establish alignment up front and strategically allocate resources where they have the greatest impact on project goals.

Communication

We value communication as one of the most important tools for success. We are mindful, accessible, and open in our approach. We establish every project with a clear understanding of the goals and expectations which is reinforced by continuous client involvement in the design and decision-making process.

Sustainable design has a positive impact on communities and the built environment by addressing environmental challenges. This is more than a design trend; it is an ethical choice.

We begin by grounding the design in its environment, understanding that the environment is an expression of cultural, economic and natural forces. We think critically to produce an integrated, holistic response that looks beyond formal certification.

We are committed to fostering health and well-being through innovative solutions. We offer the expertise of LEED® Accredited Professionals and Fitwel Ambassadors, delivering LEED Platinum and Gold certified projects including Calgary City Centre, Livmore High Park, Brampton City Hall Campus Expansion, and Cummings Library and Collaboratory at Mohawk College, as well as Panda Passage at the Calgary Zoo, the first project in Alberta to receive Living Building Challenge Petal Certification.
