Brown and Storey Architects

Before intensification was a buzzword, we asked: what if parking could pay for a piazza? St. Clair Avenue West, 2004. The ground plane, used twice. Still holds up. Learn more about the Piazzetta at the link in bio.

We are so pleased that these young ladies enjoyed and visited our Massey Harris Public Park!

In March, the OAA announced a competition that would have architects design a landscape for the headquarters. While we did not win, we are still pleased to share the work on our website at shorturl.at/EOyyD.

We'd like to remind ourselves & the public how important public parks are to small towns & cities. We keep getting nice comments about how popular the @MunicCK Kingston Park is as a summer park. We’re taking the opportunity to show some what role a specific place could be.

We are honored to have designed the Immigrant Tribute installation and landscaping at the @Villa_Charities site and create a space for those with Italian heritage to commemorate and reflect on their history and achievements.

A Lego column on Harbored and Clinton. A community builds upon itself. A work of art in the making!

@JodiesJumpsuit We proposed pedestrian improvements and rebuilt it as a living place much like you mentioned back in 2017.

It wasn’t just a bridge, it was a neighborhood! People lived, worked, shopped, fought on that bridge! For centuries! It was its own whole thing! Give me a period piece prestige show set on Old London Bridge, make it a comedy!

Okay sure there’s a large contingent of people who think about the Roman Empire every day, surely there must also be people who think about Old London Bridge at least once a day

What happened to the dish-like flower pots? To be replaced by these ugly and primitive large stones. I would like to know who makes these decisions and expect people to sit on them. How degrading can our public spaces fall? What happened to other designs?

@alexbozikovic Our Un-Avenues proposal for density in the inner city includes transit, streets (or un-avenues) that run North-South across the city that engage the East-West subway lines, Dufferin, Ossington, Bathurst, Spadina etc. You can read more on our site: rb.gy/ttj9ge
