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 RELATIONSHIP
More than anything, I wanted people to feel something when they walked through the doors. Not intimidation or formality, but comfort, curiosity, and connection. The same feeling of being welcomed into someone’s home and uncovering meaningful treasures collected over time.
What we created became so much more than a store. It became a reflection of our family, the generations before me, and the future we are building at Henri Noël. A place where craftsmanship, storytelling, and hospitality all come together under one roof.
