Stephen Rowe brings over thirty years of architectural experience in residential and commercial design projects. A graduate of Ohio State University and the University of Toronto’s Daniel  School of Architecture and Design, he has worked with WZMH and Stanford Downey Architects. Today, Stephen continues to develop strategies that integrate new building technologies into contemporary practice. A personal interest in traditional craftsmanship can be integrated into projects where appropriate.

Stephen’s attention to detail and focus on materials is complimented by his design and project management experience. His versatility is demonstrated in the broad range of commissions he has managed for private homes, cottages, small renovations, condominiums, public housing, churches, and large office complexes. His designs are thoughtful and responsive to client requests, reflecting his finely-honed design aesthetic.

 

Called upon by national media as a commentator on architectural news, Stephen is an engaging, knowledgeable and passionate speaker. He is actively involved in local heritage initiatives, and generously dedicates time to pro bono projects as well as serving on a number of community committees. He supports the Uxbridge Garden Tour, Scugog Arts and faith-based institutions.  

"Stephen was instrumental in creating a beautiful, welcoming space for my physiotherapy clinic. We had a small space to work with and he created a clinic that both functions well and feels special from the moment you walk in. Stephen not only created a fantastic design, but he was also there to guide us through every step of our journey from getting permits, liaising with contractors, etc.  Our clients all comment on the aesthetic of the clinic and I am confident that the design had a major impact on our clinic's success."
