About Us
Igniting Architectural Innovation Across Canada
Founded on a vision to transform urban landscapes through innovative and sustainable design.
Havoc Flare Zenthor Architects was established in Toronto with a singular mission: to challenge conventional architectural thinking and create spaces that inspire, sustain, and endure. Our founding partners—each bringing decades of experience in contemporary urban design—recognized a need for architecture that doesn't just occupy space, but actively contributes to the vitality of communities.
From our modest beginnings in a converted warehouse studio, we've grown into one of Canada's most respected architectural firms, with projects spanning coast to coast. Our journey has been driven by an unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainability.
Today, we stand as pioneers in contemporary urban architecture, continuously pushing boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in our core values of environmental responsibility, client collaboration, and design integrity.
