Following the sudden passing of founder Bing Thom last year, the esteemed Canadian architect's namesake firm has been going through some big changes. On December 18, the firm officially rebranded themselves as Revery Architecture.

The firm wrote in a statement:

“The studio has gone through many transformations over its 35-year history. Some changes have been subtle while others more pronounced, but all share the same objective of strengthening our core values and the passion we have for design excellence. With the passing of our firm’s founder Bing Thom in 2016, the past year has been one of necessary evolution and transformation at the firm. The new name, Revery Architecture, reflects the firm’s enduring vision to strive for exceptional design, whilst paying homage to Bing who instilled in us all the courage to dream big...”

Their Vancouver and Hong Kong offices already have a busy 2018 in tow, including the opening of two new educational buildings, the start of construction of Vancouver's Butterfly residential building, and the opening of the Xiqu Opera House in Hong Kong's West Kowloon Cultural District — which, the firm describes, will stand as a monumental tribute to Bing Thom's legacy.
