Chedoke House (Balfour House) Office Conversion

It was a busy summer Invizij, and we were excited to welcome a few new members to our team!

Jatin Kashyap has joined us as a Junior Technologist and Laura Konyndyk has come on board as our part-time Creative Strategist.

Jatin brings a Master’s degree in Architecture, a strong foundation in sustainable design, and a passion for creating buildings that are both beautiful and responsive to social and environmental needs. He is currently working toward OAA licensure and looks forward to contributing to Invizij’s mission through impactful, community-based projects.

With a background in English and illustration, Laura has been contributing to proposal research, development, and writing since joining us in June. She is also excited to support Invizij’s brand visibility through art projects, social media, and marketing initiatives. Laura is passionate about the role of art and aesthetics in everyday life and is inspired by Invizij’s collaborative, community-driven approach to sustainable, socially conscious design.

We also had the pleasure of welcoming Kendah, a high school co-op student entering Grade 11. During her time with us, Kendah explored redesign options for our material library and supported the development of material boards for two active projects. Through collaboration with our staff, she gained valuable experience in drawing, presentation techniques, and design processes for our upcoming boardroom renovation.

We’re grateful for the energy, skills, and creativity that Jatin, Laura, and Kendah have brought to the office, and we look forward to what September has in store for our firm! ...

Did you know the abstract mural in the gymnasium of Westmount Recreation Centre can be seen from almost anywhere inside? Inivizij enjoyed working on this 54,000 sq. ft. building over ten years ago, along with Lintack Architects, and we think it feels just as fresh today--with its natural light, open layout, calming use of colour, and warm wood finishes. ...

We are excited to share that construction is underway on Support House’s new supportive housing development at 47 Maria Street in Acton!

This project will create 12 one-bedroom units for people experiencing homelessness or those needing support with mental health or addictions. Three of these apartments are designed as accessible units as defined by CMHC.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with supporthouse.ca and our construction managers, Schilthuis Construction, on this important initiative--to deliver supportive housing as quickly as possible for those in urgent need in Halton. ...

There’s much to admire about the Dunnville Farmers Market pavilion! We love how the large skylight on the roof’s ridge fills the space with daylight, recalling the glow of hayloft doors in historic barns. Completed by Invizij in 2018, the structure serves as a hub for farmers to sell their produce throughout the growing season, and is home to a summer tourism office.

The market is open Tuesdays 2-7 PM and Saturdays 7 AM - 12 PM. ...

Remembering Sagonaska Place and its rooftop patio with panoramic river views. This collaboration with Smoke Architecture transformed a former government office into housing, amenities, and commercial space — including affordable and barrier-free units. Awarded the First Nation Community Housing Recognition Award in 2023. ...

Today we’re looking back at Binbrook Library and its undulating ceiling-scape -- white oak slats and acoustic lining provide warmth, while the soaring white vaulted ceilings lift the spirit!

The drama of what’s above is balanced by a simple open floor space, and minimalistic interior finishes. Two stylized barn forms are joined by a glass box to honour Binbrook’s agricultural past through fresh, modern design. ...
