Our Story

Siegrist Architecture is a Vancouver-based firm led by Duane Siegrist and Andrew Martins.

Our portfolio of work includes multi-family residential apartment and townhouse developments, mass timber and concrete, high-rise and wood-frame construction, senior-assisted living and care facilities, and mixed-use retail and office projects.

Our architectural team’s broad experience with clients and consultants over the years has given us a deep understanding of what makes projects successful. In every project, we take a client-centered approach – nurturing strong relationships with consultants, collaborating with planning and building departments, and adhering to timelines and budgets. All this fosters results: good design, smooth construction, and thriving communities.

our history

Duane Siegrist, Architect, co-founded Integra Architecture in 1999 with Dale Staples, Architect. Together, their design practice focused on bridging the gap between design and how buildings get built. Over the course of almost 20 years, they fostered strong relationships with clients throughout BC, Canada, and China.

In 2017, seeking new endeavours, it was Duane and Dale's honour to transition the practice to new design leaders within Integra: Collin, Rhys, Steve, and Shamus. Duane is proud of the work Integra continues to do under the new partnership and continues to offer support where possible.
Now, at his new practice, Siegrist Architecture, Duane’s work primarily focuses on specialized boutique and community-building projects that emphasize housing for individuals with special needs, alongside co-founder and longtime colleague Andrew Martins. Their expertise also includes restoring significant buildings, community-oriented urban planning, and residential developments.

Outside of his practice, Duane is a licensed architect in various provinces, a member of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, and has volunteered with the Regulatory Coordination Committee of the AIBC, where he contributed to the establishment of the Intern-architect learning program and continues to advocate for the standardization of education within the profession.
