London architecture practice Arney Fender Katsalidis opens first Canadian office in Toronto

Arney Fender Katsalidis, the architecture and interiors practice, has announced the opening of its first Canadian office in Toronto.

Headquartered in London, Arney Fender Katsalidis launched a new office in Toronto in response to client demand as well as the business opportunities in the 4th largest city in Canada.

The firm’s Canadian clients include professional services firm Deloitte, retailer Loblaws, law firm Cassels Brock and financial services provider BMO.

Led by associate director Sho Itoh, the Toronto office will focus on the firm’s expertise in commercial architecture and interior design, as well as working alongside clients on bespoke workplace strategy and design.

Earle Arney, Arney Fender Katsalidis’ chief executive officer, said: “With Toronto’s growing global profile, its blossoming talent network, and the added advantage of being able to serve our clients locally, now is the right time to open our studio in the city.

“We look forward to harnessing the business opportunities Toronto presents and to enjoying a similarly ambitious growth trajectory as experienced when our presence in London was established four years’ ago.”

Arney added: “Our new Toronto base represents both our commitment to this a burgeoning global city and to continuing to offer our clients an approach which brings together our experience and enthusiasm in the delivery of world-leading, ambitious design.”

Arney Fender Katsalidis is headquartered in London with sister studios, Fender Katsalidis, operating in Australia.
