Ten-2-Four Architecture Inc. is an emerging and innovative licensed architectural practice located in mid-town Toronto. Although a relatively new practice founded in 2012, we have extensive experience and expertise gleaned from previous offices in both public and private sectors with projects of various sizes and complexity.
We believe that good design is a function of design effort and not entirely of budget and to that end we go the extra mile to ensure that our design solutions respond to the Clients’ directives and programming requirements through extensive research of materials and methods.
Judah’s design skills are based on a very sound understanding of the technical aspects of architecture that allow ideas to be transitioned successfully into a built form during construction. An advocate of an ecology based approach to architecture with human scale at the core of it, Judah strives for architectural solutions that are harmonious with their context, engage the user and encourage interaction not only with the built environment but with other users as well.
A graduate of the Dalhousie School of Architecture with a Bachelor of Environmental Design Studies and a Masters of Architecture Degrees, Judah is a member of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and a licensed member of the Ontario Association of Architects. A strong advocate for good environmental stewardship, Judah utilizes his experience with the requirements of permitting processes for both municipal and provincial authorities having jurisdiction to good effect to advise clients of realistic time frames for their projects.
With over twenty-five years of professional experience, a significant aspect of Judah’s management skills is the ability to calmly bridge the traditionally adversarial architect-contractor dynamic in order to create a synergy that focuses on, is invested in the best possible outcome for the client’s project and builds successful and reliable partnerships to benefit future collaborations.
