multi-residential tower for Kaneff Group, an established real estate developer, builder, and property manager within the GTA and Golden Horseshoe. On that project, Westparks + Associates is responsible for designing all of the public spaces throughout the building – elevator lobbies, corridors, amenity spaces, and more. It’s a project that highlights the firm’s capability to handle large-scale, multifaceted work while maintaining their signature hands-on approach. Additionally, Westparks + Associates has built a strong portfolio of multi-residential renovations. These projects often come with unique challenges – older buildings with outdated infrastructure, unexpected repairs, and logistical hurdles. “Sometimes you’re dealing with lighting systems that are decades old, or materials that need replacing, or even things like mold or asbestos,” Theo explains. “It’s a whole other layer of problemsolving before you even get to the design.” The firm has also completed standout commercial work, including a jewelry store set inside a historic building in Toronto’s Old Town. Preserving the character of the heritage building while constructing a completely new interior was no small task, but it’s exactly the kind of challenge the firm thrives on. They’ve also designed office spaces, including Mandrake’s two-story penthouse headquarters in Yorkville / Toronto, where the team worked closely with builders from the ground up to align materials, layouts, and aesthetics with the client’s vision for their commercial building.
