Architectural Design Guidance for Community Vision

At W Architect Inc., we specialize in Architectural Design Guidelines (ADG) and Design Control (DC), two essential components in the creation of cohesive, high-quality community developments. These services form the foundation for thoughtful planning, aesthetic consistency, and regulatory alignment in new residential and mixed-use neighbourhoods.

Our Services


Architectural Design Guidelines

We develop detailed Architectural Design Guidelines that turn community vision into clear standards for massing, materials, colour schemes, rooflines, and appropriate design upgrades.

Architectural Design Control

We work closely with developers, builders, and municipalities to ensure each submission meets local regulations, satisfies approval conditions, and supports a cohesive architectural vision.

Builder Support

We coordinate multiple builder groups within the same development to ensure a cohesive visual character across the communities.

The Value of Architectural Design Guidance

Thoughtful architectural guidance supports:

  • More cohesive and attractive neighbourhoods

  • Increased property values and community appeal

  • Efficient coordination among stakeholders

At W Architect Inc., our approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive. We partner closely with all stakeholders to ensure our design guidance enhances the development - never limits it.
