Brigitte Shim and Howard Sutcliffe formed their Toronto based design practice Shim-Sutcliffe Architects in 1994 exploring their shared interest
in and passion for the integration and intertwining of the scales of architecture, landscape and furniture. Shim-Sutcliffe’s interest in materials
such as weathering steel, concrete, water and wood interlocked and engaged with the natural and urban landscape creating rich spatial experiences moving fluidly from inside to outside. Simultaneously, their urban work addresses the intensification and the revitalization of our city
centres including its often neglected laneways and back alleys. Shim-Sutcliffe’s built work probes and rethinks the evolving role of light, landscape and water .
Shim-Sutcliffe has been honored with twelve Governor General’s Medals and Awards in Architecture and an American Institute of Architect’s
Honor Award for their built work.
Brigitte Shim is an associate professor at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design at the University of Toronto. She has
been an invited visitor at Yale University, the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Harvard University.
