FPB Architects is a longstanding and industryacclaimed design firm based in Vaughan, Ontario. From their inception almost 50 years ago, they have been a progressive, client-focused practice, providing personalized architectural and planning services to both private and public clients. The founding philosophy was to deliver innovative design solutions and progressive development strategies that address complex architectural and urban design challenges – and that philosophy remains at the core of the firm today. With every project they take on, they are committed to guiding their clients seamlessly through every phase of the development process, and to ensuring the final product meets the needs of both the client and the community. “At FBP Architects, we take pride in translating our clients’ visions into built form,” says Elizabeth Nocon, the firm’s principal. “We believe a collaborative design process results in a superior solution.” “What sets us apart is our careful site analysis, respect for topography, and sensitivity to the existing urban fabric,” she adds. “Whether contemporary or heritage-inspired, each project is crafted to strengthen community identity and enrich its surroundings.” FPB Architects was founded in 1979 by John Henry Beresford, Walter Flanagan, and Wilfred Mark Patteson, originally under the name Flanagan Beresford & Patteson Architects. Elizabeth joined the team after graduating from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture in 1986. At the time, the firm was focused on custom homes, cottages, and residential renovations throughout Muskoka, Georgian Bay, and Toronto. Following the retirement of the second of the JANUARY 2026
