Founder + Principal | Elmira Aghsaei Architecture

As a passionate designer, I am committed to creating meaningful designs that positively impact communities, prioritize social sustainability, and promote health and wellness. Over my career, I have had the privilege of contributing to prestigious mixed-use projects that have made a lasting impression on British Columbia and Canada.

Notable projects I have contributed to include 1515, an iconic 42-story residential tower in the heart of downtown Vancouver, and the 52-story 3 Civic Plaza, a prominent mixed-use tower. Additionally, I have been involved in the largest school development in BC's history.

My design approach is deeply process-driven, focused on co-creating solutions that integrate harmoniously with their urban, ecological, and social contexts. This allows me to shape architecture that tells a holistic story.

After practicing at several renowned architecture firms in Vancouver, my entrepreneurial spirit led me to establish my own practice. I have since taken on leadership roles in the entire project lifecycle, from acquisition through to construction, and continue to enjoy guiding projects to completion.
