About - oemarchitectureoffice.com

Our office is based on the southern tip of Vancouver Island

OEM Architecture Office Inc., established in 2024, is committed to listening and contemplating throughout all the design process to build a network of opportunities that enhances the potential of each project. We will record all information and consider each limitation as an opportunity to explore creativity and experimentation.

With each person we collaborate with, we foster empathy and respect so that healthy relationships can be the foundation of trust and success. Our goal is to share our commitment and passion, meeting all expectations and goals. During the design process and the collaboration of ideas, we will promote innovation, transformation and progression to achieve an architecture that builds cultural identity, cohesion of users and spaces, healthier environments and adaptability.

We recognize the challenges of our times and how difficult is to find good results, but with the openness to learn from other collaborators, we will create a strong bond of advocates who will offer stronger solutions with deeper effects.
