Multi-disciplinary architecture and engineering collective across Canada
Architecture49 is a strategic partnership of Canadian regional architecture and engineering firms operating at 201–500 people, headquartered in Winnipeg. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward design and visualization tools (Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Rhino, Bluebeam, 3ds Max) with no adopting or replacing activity, indicating a stable, mature toolkit. Hiring is design-dominant (24 roles) with accelerating velocity (16 new postings in 30 days), paired with active work on major infrastructure projects—Parliament Hill, Centre Block, military base modernization, and downtown revitalization—suggesting ongoing capacity expansion for complex, regulated public-sector work.
Architecture49 delivers integrated design, engineering, and planning services across healthcare, hospitality, science & technology, defence, sports, transportation, and heritage restoration. The firm operates as a collective of allied practices across Canada, with deep project experience in institutional, civic, and military infrastructure. Recent work includes Parliament Hill heritage initiatives, Centre Block rehabilitation, military facility modernization at Valcartier and Bagotville, downtown Winnipeg revitalization, and education and healthcare facilities in remote northern communities. The organization navigates a complex regulatory environment, particularly for heritage and defence projects.
Primary tools include Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Rhino, Grasshopper, Bluebeam, and 3ds Max. Rendering and visualization work uses V-Ray, Adobe Creative Suite, and Adobe Illustrator. Project coordination runs on Autodesk BIM 360 and Microsoft 365.
Current projects include Parliament Hill heritage preservation, Centre Block rehabilitation, military base modernization at Valcartier and Bagotville, downtown Winnipeg revitalization, Quebec Aquarium parking construction, and education and healthcare facilities in remote northern communities.
