Place and Occasion - Montgomery Sisam Architects

Place and Occasion: Montgomery Sisam Architects

Toronto-based practice Montgomery Sisam Architects has a commitment to design quality that is rooted in the belief that buildings and their environs must play a dignified and lasting role for their occupants and the surrounding community.

Implicit in this approach is the desire to create places that make a positive contribution to the occupants' physical and mental wellbeing. The practice combines a considered, intellectual and highly collaborative approach to design and the composition of space with an understanding of daylight to produce buildings that engage with the outdoors and strengthen the beneficial relationship between design and health.

The book features the Ronald McDonald House in Toronto, the Convent for the Sisterhood of St John the Divine, the Bob Rumball Home for the Deaf, the Humber River Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge, the Printing Factory Lofts and the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, amongst other projects.

Beautifully illustrated with full-colour photographs alongside drawings, plans and supporting texts by David Sisam, Beth Kapusta, Bruce Kuwabara, Ken Greenberg and Nick Drake, Place and Occasion: Montgomery Sisam Architects is the first comprehensive examination of the work of this important Canadian practice.
