Design Philosophy
Number TEN’s Education and Recreation team is comprised of passionate and knowledgeable designers with extensive experience delivering award-winning education and recreation projects of all types and scales. We take pride in working inclusively and collaboratively with diverse stakeholder groups to create innovative architecture that responds to the unique community needs, opportunities and challenges behind each project.
Our breadth of experience throughout Western and Northern Canada has honed our ability to deliver innovative built environments that are as diverse and unique as the communities in which they stand. We are careful to incorporate wellness, accessibility, sustainability and cultural representation into all projects so that the final product becomes a valued community asset that is welcoming to all who use it. Through open and honest communication with all stakeholders and team members, we make sure that everyone’s voices are heard and respected throughout the design process.
At Number TEN, we believe that great design not only fulfills a functional need, but also creates an environment where everyone feels welcome, safe, stimulated and engaged. Through ongoing research and project experience, we excel as Canadian leaders in the design of innovative 21st century learning and wellness environments developed in close collaboration with our clients and stakeholders.
Using comprehensive quality control and risk management processes and leading-edge technology, our architects, interior designers, technologists and contract administrators are skilled at delivering challenging projects on-time and on-budget. We are here to work with you as one team to create exceptional architecture that responds to your community’s unique needs - effectively and beautifully.
