About Us
Inspired by Nature
Iredale Design creates homes and community buildings using a distinctive stye of west-coast design inspired by nature.
As architects we work to find the best fit between the unique spirit of the site and our clients’ needs and aspirations.
Our buildings are beautiful and yet efficient, and many have achieved the highest sustainability standards.
Featured Project:
The Gorge Pavillion in Victoria
Exploring local, natural materials
We prefer local materials that are simple and natural, and that express the subtle beauty of our BC landscape.
Iconic softwood timber, for instance, recalls the mysterious life and light that permeates our old-growth forests.
Natural stone echoes the wild immensity of BC’s mountains and coastline.
The landscape influences our approach to every design project. Each site has its own unique views, its particular orientation to sunlight and wind and sound…and these are major influences on design.
Featured Project:
The Squamish Adventure Center
Echoing the land
First Nations communities preserve a deep connection to the land they live on. Every hill and stream, every mountain and forest and shoreline, is honored and respected.
In designing First Nations community buildings we seek to echo this reverence for place, and to create spaces that reflect the sacred connection to the natural world.
For example, the roof form of the Nlaka’Pamux Cultural Center was inspired by the serpentine junction of the Thomson and Fraser Rivers at Lytton.
Likewise, the twin roof forms of the Snaw-naw-As marketplace mirror the undulating shoreline and the sweep of the Notch Hill lookout behind Nanoose Bay.

Tl’KemchEEn Gathering Place
The Snaw’ naw As Marketplace
Weaving our communities together
We have worked with many communities to develop cultural and athletic facilities that help build a sense of community identity while offering everyone a chance to experience sport, music, dance, or art.
These gathering places play an important role in developing community spirit and weaving our multi-cultural society together.
