Design exploration underpins our process & approach

Oxbow Architecture is a Saskatchewan based multi-disciplinary design studio with expertise in architecture, planning and landscape design. Together we seek to collaborate with clients and communities that embrace our prairie context, respect the environment, and share our commitment to the positive impact that a collaborative and inclusive design process can achieve. 

Our award-winning design team collectively holds over 100 years of experience in professional design practice. Our work ranges in scale from residential projects to commercial, civic and institutional buildings, urban design and landscapes. As an integrated practice, Oxbow believes that a collective perspective is key to the success of every project. Through engaged listening, critical discussion and an explorative/iterative design process, our work seeks clarity of ideas through collective practice.

As rivers in our region bend to create meanders and oxbows, so too our process finds design resolution through research, engagement, and innovation. We are committed to a practice that is embedded in our community and the environment, inspired by the stories of our clients, neighbours and the land we share.

We are curious. We examine every potential, express clarity of idea, and elevate the craft of design.

We are collaborative. We respect, participate, and engage all in the process of design.

We act with integrity. We value honesty, transparency and inclusivity.

We are responsible. We are responsible for the environment, context and providing outstanding service to our clients and community.

We love what we do. We bring humility, joy, and resilience to work each day. We work hard, and balance that rigor with a healthy dose of fun.
