At Bousfields, urban design is about creative solutions.
We analyze and strategize.
We are known for delivering complex projects on multidisciplinary teams.
We are versatile, not just as designers but as storytellers weaving together various perspectives. Our clients rely on us and our long established track record in providing creative advice, analytical thinking on challenging files, delivering excellence consistently, and getting it right.
“What drew me to Bousfields was the ability to be able to contribute to the growth of the urban design department. I want to bring something else to the table and help contribute to growing it in a new way.”
– Urban Designer
We have a vision of where things are going to go, and share that vision with our clients.
Industry insight We anticipate who will be involved from a municipal approvals perspective, know the individuals in the industry and have deep knowledge of everything that’s happening within it.
Working together Collaboration and independent thinking are critical to our success, not just internally, but externally, and understanding the role of other disciplines.
Thinking bigger We understand how urban design fits within a more encompassing and complex process.
We are passionate about our work.
Over time, we get to see our projects become real buildings which then become the built environment. There is a real satisfaction that comes from seeing our work materialize, watch cities evolve over time, and recognize our contribution.
Our expertise includes:
providing expert advice on projects
preparing massing analyses and master plans
developing urban design guidelines and briefs
giving expert evidence at hearings
organizing workshops
collaborating with our community designers to develop plans of subdivision
working with our graphics team to produce exciting visuals
