Work with us.
Our approach is grounded and adaptable. While every project is different, our role stays constant: bringing architectural thinking into every phase – from early visioning to operational delivery. We look for design and project management opportunities not just in buildings, but in policy, community priorities, environmental realities, construction methods and long-term operations.
Our Commitment.
We acknowledge with gratitude that we live and work on the ancestral and unceded territories of the Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), Líl̓wat7úl (Lil’wat Nation), St’át’imc Nation, and N’Quatqua. These Nations have stewarded the lands and waters of the Sea to Sky corridor since time immemorial.
As a practice rooted in community, BOS Studio is committed to working in ways that honour the past, respect the present, and contribute to a more connected and equitable future. We recognize that true design leadership includes listening, learning, and showing up in relationship with the Indigenous communities whose territories we are privileged to live and work on.
