When searching for a design firm in Ontario, choose Lima Architects. Established in Burlington in 2013, our Ontario architects have spent the past decade professionally executing custom architecture and design. Our expertise encompasses residential, commercial, corporate projects, and mixed-use developments equally.
Combining design principles with construction management experience, we involve clients, engineers, and consultants at every stage. Our architectural team uses 3D models to help test and develop our proposed design concepts. See our commercial/civil, custom home, high-rise, interior design, mid-rise/townhouse, and residential building projects.
Prior to founding our Ontario architectural firm in 2013, Fernando Lima spent many years passionately working in the industry. A project leader with another architecture firm for a decade, his experience inspired him to create his own architecture company.
Today, he has assembled a highly skilled multi-disciplinary team including intern architects, architectural technologists, interior designers, and graphic designers.
Our method of working is highly participatory and involves clients, engineers and consultants, all contributing from the beginning of the project and throughout the design process. Our approach to design is not strictly conventional and involves the use of 3D models to help test and develop our proposed design concepts. We also believe that the design process may have different directions and that it requires designers to think and draw until the best possible outcome is reached, considering each finished detail in the development of the overall design.
