Grant Architecture Studio Inc. | History
Paul Grant co-founded Grant + Sinclair Architects, Ltd (GSAL) in 1978, where he developed a vast amount of experience in high end residential, as well as educational and institutional work. In 2013, GSAL was purchased by Omicron with the intention of furthering their educational portfolio with the expertise built by GSAL over the span of 35 years.
Grant Architecture Studio, Inc. was created after Paul left Omicron in 2014 to allow Paul the opportunity to push the boundaries in both residential design, as well as educational work. Recently completed projects include the Bowen Island House and Urban Academy School. Both push the boundaries of their respective paradigms.
