"Blame it on the Dewey Decimal Library System, where Architecture comes just after Art. I might not have stumbled into the architecture section except I had already gone through the Art section. It was all new to me - as a bright-eyed teen I'd never in my wildest dreams imagined that the field existed. The architecture books were the perfect meld of Art, Science, and Sociology." Randy Knill

Randy returned to Canada after graduating from the University of Oregon in 1978, and designed custom homes on the Sunshine Coast for several years. In 1982, he moved to Alaska, working on schools, research facilities, and residential projects designed for arctic conditions. He returned to Vancouver in 1987. After working for a variety of local firms, Randy started his own firm in 2001, which merged with DA Architects + Planners in 2005.

Randy’s past experience includes large and small-scale building types including the River Rock Casino Resort, a 500,000 square foot multi-use destination resort located on the Fraser River in Richmond, B.C. Randy believes that by listening carefully to our clients’ needs and then assembling a creative design team where every member is contributing in the area where they excel, the outcome will be the best possible architecture.
