Toronto, Canadas largest city, underwent an unprecedented building boom during the 20th and 21st centuries. From impressive condominiums, such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Toronto-Dominion Centre, to historic structures like the Flatiron Building, Toronto is considered one of the most diverse architectural settings in the Western world. In the early 2000s, the city became an alluring site for postmodernist architects such as Daniel Libeskind and Frank Gehry. Their designs: the Royal Ontario Museums extension Michael Lee-Chin Crystal and the Art Gallery of Ontario showcase architecture that is far from conventional.Unsurprisingly, the focus of todays Toronto-based architects has shifted to sustainability and natural materials. Mass timber construction has become the go-to material for mid-rise and high-rise buildings, such as the 80 Atlantic and T3 Bayside, while the citys environmental goal to achieve net zero by 2040 is already underway. Social housing has also developed, introducing the concept of the missing middle, where architects design mid-scale residential projects, creating neighborhoods that sit in between the towers and the suburban single-family homes, thus monitoring urban sprawl.With so many architecture firms to choose from, its challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Toronto, Canada based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.How are these architecture firms ranked?The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firms level of architectural excellence.
