About Us
DS Studio is a full-service architecture firm comprising a cross-functional design team of architects, urban designers, interior designers, and experience designers. Based in Toronto and Ottawa, our Canadian architecture studio is dedicated to creating vibrant spaces that enrich and galvanize communities.
We believe in the urban impact of architecture and interior design, applying our knowledge of how different cultures and people use space as a container for their daily rituals. Our collaborative design approach blends strategy and form to create built environments in Toronto and Ottawa that uplift the lived experience — one shared among strangers, neighbours, friends, and family.
With inclusive design leadership, and a material-conscious approach to spatial design, we focus on projects across healthcare, hospitality, retail, education, and office sectors. Community building is at the heart of our work, helping private and public investors — from cities to businesses to individuals — create environments that inspire and endure.
We offer a full range of comprehensive services for projects of all scales and scopes.

THOUGHTFUL DESIGN. MEANINGFUL CLIENT RELATIONSHIPs.
Dina and Leila have been a fabulous find for the business that I do. They are knowledgeable and work within my timelines without issue. Glad to have them as part of my portfolio!

Nothing to say but great things about this amazing design studio. We worked with DS to design and fabricate an award-winning micro retail store for STACKTx in Ottawa, as well as future kits across Canada. DS is extremely professional, their designs are beautiful, and most importantly the team is extremely genuine.

Henri Noël has always been a deeply personal, family-driven business, and we knew our flagship needed to reflect that spirit. What was created exceeded our expectations, transforming our brand into a physical experience. Every detail feels intentional and deeply connected to our story as a third-generation jeweler. The flagship has become more than a store — it is a reflection of our family, our craft, and the future of Henri Noël.
