Since 1936, J.P. Thomson Associates Ltd. Architects & Engineer has practised architecture and engineering in Canada, the United States and largely in Southwestern Ontario. The firm specialises in the design of institutional facilities including elementary, secondary and post-secondary educational facilities. Our portfolio also showcases our experience with commercial offices, recreational facilities, industrial buildings, churches, hospitals and police and fire facilities.
Over the life of our firm, we have developed strong relationships with municipal leaders, building departments and community members, through a wide range of public and private projects. Moreover, our network of industry resources proves advantageous on any project, as we are able to draw information and insight from the best of regional, national and international construction manufacturers and suppliers. Geographically, we are expanding our presence in the area through our branch offices. Word of mouth remains our best form of advertising and our long list of repeat clients stands as a testament to our commitment to high quality work.
A modern architectural language sits at the core of our firm's work. As seen in this site, architecture is able to create a point and counter-point. It has the opportunity to begin a dialogue with the character and culture of its locale, with the particularities of its immediate site, and with the interaction of its end-users. Architecture is didactic. It is able to convey things to us that we may never have imagined before. It can create new connections between our past, present and future, it can assemble new paradigms of use and operation and it can endure time when asked. Above all, our firm is devoted to an architecture of experience -- where the aggregate of all of the above possibilities is summed into one complete gesture on the site. Aesthetics and form-making are two notions which go hand-in-hand with the way in which a building is used and experienced. Ultimately, our goal is to have our clients experience the very ideas we set out to convey through their direct engagement with the process and the built work.
