on collaborative, co-operative
and interactive design
Canadian Design and Constuction Report special feature
Vancouver based Ciccozzi Architecture fo-
cuses on a collaborative, co-operative and in-
teractive design process to provide a balance
of design and economy to its creative solu-
tions. Robert Ciccozzi founded the company,
which was rebranded in 2015, in 1999 after
several years of industry experience. Today,
the firm has grown to a team of 33 that takes
on between 30 and 40 projects annually.
The majority of the firm’s clients are devel-
opers “who are looking to us for our design
expertise and our ability to take a project
through city approvals and construction,” says
Ciccozzi. 20 – Winter 2018 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report
The firm also works with private clients on custom
homes. These clients, he says, are drawn by the firm’s
process, which is more personal, as well as by its design
expertise and attention to detail.
Getting involved in each project’s design, Ciccozzi will
typically initiate the design and then review it as it moves
through design development, and in some cases, through
construction. “We provide a balance of detailed design and
technical expertise because we believe architecture is
where art and technology intersect.”
Among the firm’s successes are the Westwood Mixed-
use Tower “because it was a successful project with re-
spect to the design; Hyde Park Townhouses because of the
high level of design and the challenge of working around
the high percentage of retained trees.”
Ciccozzi says he considers all of the firm’s high end cus-
tom residences as among its great successes for the level
of design and detail each requires.
“Our main achievement, though, is building strong and
successful working relationships with our long term major
clients.” The firm was recently recognized with a “2017 New City
Design Award” from the City of Surrey for the Hyde Park
Townhomes project and is continuing to grow and establish
itself as a top multi-residential design firm within the
province. For more information, visit www.ciccozziarchitecture.com.
“When I design homes, I think about the experience. I want
people to feel and discover all the subtle es and sublimity of
the home.”
