Revery Architecture

Revery Architecture is an internationally recognized architecture, interiors and planning practice headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with an office in Milan, Italy. Led by the studio’s long-time design lead Venelin Kokalov, its team represents more than 18 countries and brings a multicultural perspective to civic, cultural, educational, residential and commercial work.

The practice is guided by a “Building Beyond Buildings” philosophy that connects architecture with broader community initiatives. Revery aims to stimulate human interaction, engage the senses, improve quality of life, and enrich the social, economic, cultural and environmental conditions of each community. Its work emphasizes placemaking, an embrace of nature, sensitive responses to context and material expression designed to endure. The studio also has extensive experience pursuing sustainability standards including LEED Gold and BEAM Plus Gold.

Featured projects include the Xiqu Centre Opera House, Surrey City Centre Library, SFU Sustainable Energy Engineering Building, University of Chicago Hong Kong, the Sen̓áḵw community, Vancouver’s Butterfly and First Baptist Church complex, and the PNE Amphitheatre / Freedom Mobile Arch. Across Canada, the United States and Asia, the practice combines architecture, interiors, planning, landscape and heritage conservation in cultural facilities, community spaces and urban transformations.
