Progressive architecture inspired by unique clients 

At Reflect Architecture, our work begins with purpose: to create architecture that inspires. This place of inspiration is unique to each client and drives each design choice. Located through a process of discovery and conversation, we work with clients to produce experiential spaces that embody the unique values that motivate them. Committed to progressive thinking that honours integrity of the environment and those who inhabit it, our work looks to reflect the possibilities of architecture. 

Every project is a consideration of its people, its place. Centring our work in the today, we utilize relevant, contemporary materials and techniques to realize our clients’ diverse perspectives. Accounting for the intersecting conditions of a place–ecology, cultures, community–we work to design responsive spaces. 

Committed to honest materials, communications, and principles–we produce architecture that speaks to the way we live today and imagines tomorrow. 

TREVOR WALLACE

Principal | OAA, M.Arch, B.Arch.S

Trevor leads his practice with a spirit of earnest exploration; asking critical questions that invite possibilities for relevant and provocative spaces across a diverse range of project scales and typologies. For Trevor, designing considerate architecture begins with an insightful examination of the relationship between people and place. In particular, he advocates for environmentally responsible architecture that addresses our rapidly evolving climate.

Born and raised in Toronto, Trevor pursued architectural studies at Carleton University where he completed both his Undergraduate and Master’s degrees. His extensive travels and time spent living in Spain influence how he understands the unique and profound relationships between people and their built forms and particularly how contemporary cultures adapt existing architecture for new uses. His work is infused with contemporary cultural references that stem from an innate ability to draw aesthetic parallels from across the various visual arts. After spending 6 years at Quadrangle Architecture under the tutelage of the late Brian Curtner, Trevor founded Reflect Architecture in 2016. Under Trevor’s leadership, Reflect’s award-winning work has received international acclaim and recognition.

Trevor is a licensed practitioner certified by the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA). He returns to his alma mater periodically as a guest critic, and serves as an OAA mentor.
