About

Symbolics Architecture + Design is an award-winning, Toronto-based, full-service architecture and design studio established in 2005. Directed by Peter Vishnovsky, OAA, our practice is built on the belief that the spaces we design are a direct reflection of how we live, what we value, and how we connect.

Our strength lies in a culture of design excellence and a committment to our craft. As an iterative, material-first studio, we navigate projects of varying scales and complexity with a consistent level of care. Our expertise is intentionally broad, spanning architecture, interiors, installations and graphic design.

We serve as dedicated partners to private developers, civic institutions and cultural organizations. We deliver integrated designs that are deeply responsive to their environments and the unique needs of our clients.

We are members of the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) and the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD).
