PETROFF engages a diverse team of Canadian designers to explore and challenge the boundaries of architecture. Beyond traditional disciplines of master planning, architecture, urban and interior design, PETROFF has expanded to seamlessly integrate brand identity, animation, film, signage and graphic design. Licensed to practice across Canada, PETROFF's award-winning design portfolio is built on exceptionally strong relationships with development leaders, the construction industry, and municipalities, formed through over 65-years of industry experience. PETROFF, along with sister firm ARK, forms one of the largest Canadian-owned practices in the industry, with expertise in the commercial, healthcare, industrial, and residential sectors.

An integrated approach to design has been our core value for over 65 years. Founded in Toronto in 1957, PETROFF’s many years of success has been built on an industry recognized reputation for design excellence from coast to coast, extending to the global marketplace. Our work has been recognized for innovation, creativity and project realization based on an integrated approach to design and construction. Driven by our client’s needs, our firm’s work is focused on creating an enhanced user experience - from master plan and urban design, to built-form and interior design. Creating a seamless identity in all of our projects that effectively incorporates branding and wayfinding has been a value-added benefit to our clients. Our firm is committed to balancing innovation with advanced technical solutions that are economical to build and maintain.

PETROFF has established a long standing relationship with the development and construction community. The foundation has been built on our strong private and public partnerships and repeat collaborations. The result of this has been billions of square feet of development across a broad portfolio of award-winning projects that span mixed-use, commercial, retail, and entertainment sectors. With 120 Architects and design professionals who are located in PETROFF’s Markham and Toronto offices, the PETROFF team is licensed to practice in each province across Canada. As the practice has expanded, so has the scope and extent of its services. Today, PETROFF provides all aspects of architecture, feasibility analysis, master planning, urban design & redevelopment, space planning, and interior & graphic design services.

Balancing experience with passion, our team-based structure services the industry with an intimate, personalized approach that is bolstered with broad and deep resources with a proven track record of success. Risk management, environmental responsibility and accessibility are woven throughout our design process, enabling owners and developers to successfully navigate the complex and evolving realm of social responsibility, including LEED and municipal green standards.

Embracing development goals with care, commitment, innovation and efficiency lies at the heart of our architectural practice. Translating critical priorities while balancing functionality and innovation results in buildings that exceed expectations. Integrating master planning, architecture, interiors, wayfinding and signage design leads to environments that embrace the site context and extend brand identity at all scales - from master plan to pedestrian scale.These processes are supported by the utilization of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software for project documentation, coordination and visualization. For complex projects in particular, this collaborative approach enhances the design process and highlights important decisions for various stakeholders at critical stages of the project, resulting in fewer changes and more efficient project delivery.
