We are pleased to share our new brand with you as we celebrate 25 years of business in the architecture and design industry. Belzberg Architects was founded in 1997 by Hagy Belzberg who had a clear-sighted ambition…establish a niche firm that was relatable and fearlessly creative. Our group quickly became a recognized practice because of this vision rooted in creating beautiful, thoughtful architecture and interiors.

Over the years, we continuously nurtured a collective curiosity and eagerness to explore design beyond the conventional, ever mindful that the best ideas emerge through collaboration. As our services and expertise grew, our leadership expanded with the addition of firm partners Cory Taylor, Daniel Rentsch, Brock DeSmit, and Jennifer Wu.

We found it easier and apropos to simply refer to ourselves as BA, a multidisciplinary studio with a collective voice that reflects the diversity of our group. This in turn brought us to renaming the practice to BA Collective. Rest assured we are the same spirited architects and designers you’ve come to know through Belzberg Architects; we’re just making the name change official. 

Coinciding with our new brand, we recently completed and moved into our studio space at 2740 Main Street. We designed, developed, and constructed our studio using mass timber as a case study for city officials and other building owners to understand the value of this sustainable construction system. We consistently strive for innovative design and practice what we preach. The result is an inspiring environment for conceptualizing and producing our body of work.
