Quote from EVOQ Director and founding-partner Julia Gersovitz:
“The delivery of the West Block Rehabilitation Project will mark
a significant milestone for EVOQ. We have been instrumental
in this project since 1995. One of the real challenges in a long-
term project, such as the West Block, is achieving a coherent
architectural vision that responds to the client’s goals. I am proud
that we are able to consistently contribute to design solutions of
real quality and value within sensitive and complex contexts.”
In addition to the West Block, EVOQ has been involved in numerous
projects in the National Capital Region, including the award-
winning rehabilitation of the Wellington Building as the heritage
architects, and numerous heritage studies of the buildings that
make up the Parliamentary Precinct.
About EVOQ
EVOQ is an award-winning architecture firm recognized for quality
interventions and site sensitive design solutions. Our name, EVOQ,
is also our conviction that architecture should be an expression
of meaning. As contextual architects, we are always looking at
the broader picture, respecting the history, culture and location
of each project to inform our design process. Our purpose is to
create a link between past, present and future with creativity
and nuance. The firm, formerly known as FGMDA, was first
established in 1996, following the merger of two offices founded
in 1983. In 2016, we incorporated and changed our name to EVOQ
Architecture. We specialize in heritage conservation and Inuit and
First Nations architecture, with additional expertise in residential
and commercial projects and heritage planning.
