“Solares buildings have a certain minimum standard of being airtight and well insulated but are also aesthetically beautiful. To me, there is no question that this is the way architecture should be.”
With Solares since 2020, Brigitte contributes to our residential projects across Ontario. She is a Licensed Architect and member of the Ontario Association of Architects, and leads a broad range of residential work, from custom homes and renovations to multiplex developments. Based in Ottawa, her projects span Ottawa and Eastern Ontario as well as throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
Through her undergraduate and graduate training in architecture from Ottawa’s Carleton University, Brigitte developed a strong interest in sustainable residential design and building performance. She served as lead designer on The Northern Nomad, a research based net zero tiny house design-build project, and later explored energy efficiency in urban housing through graduate research on laneway homes.
Since joining Solares, Brigitte has been closely involved in all phases of design and construction administration, steering projects from early planning through delivery. She has played a key role in advancing multiplex, laneway, and complex multi-phased projects, bringing clarity to zoning and design constraints, technical coordination, and long term performance considerations.
Brigitte brings enthusiasm to her work and appreciation for the personal nature of residential architecture. “I like how specialized the work is,” she says. “Our clients interact with their buildings every day, so every decision matters.”
