SUULIN ARCHITECTS inc. was founded in 2014 with the belief that people are the fundamental force of architecture – and its most important part. They believe that good design can promote positive interactions, happy and healthy environments, and foster social networks, forming the basis of communities in buildings and neighbourhoods.

The two principals, Amy Lin and James Chavel, bring extensive experience to the firm. In particular, they bring a thorough understanding of approach to all of their projects, learned from experience working closely with builders during the construction process. It also leads to an understanding for the need to keep current with standards in architecture technology, such as BIM software, to ensure a complete set of drawings for the client.

A testament to the success of this approach is that not only are all of their new projects either repeat clients or referrals from clients, but because of the way they work with builders – early and as collaborators – some of their referrals are from contractors.
