What sets us apart.

KANVA's big ideas, big gestures and rigorous approach to the issues of contemporary society have attracted a great deal of positive attention locally, nationally and internationally. Among the distinctions our team has received and of which we are very proud are the prestigious Canada Council for the Arts Prix de Rome in Architecture ( 2017) and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Emerging Architectural Practice Award (2015).
