Scott & Scott Architects

Scott & Scott Architects is a Vancouver-based architecture and interior design practice founded in 2012 by Susan and David Scott, following twelve years of combined experience at leading west coast architectural firms. Both graduates of Dalhousie University’s School of Architecture, the founding principals established the studio with a commitment to technically rigorous design practice across residential, commercial, and adaptive reuse typologies. The firm operates an in-house workshop dedicated to industrial design, material research, and prototyping, enabling direct involvement across all stages of design and construction. Lead architect Andrea Zittlau works alongside the founding principals on the studio’s current project portfolio.

The practice has built a distinctive body of work grounded in material honesty, tectonic precision, and an attentiveness to the inherent qualities of place and programme. Characteristic to the firm’s approach is the use of regionally sourced and durability-driven materials deployed in raw or minimally treated states, producing interiors and buildings that evolve in character through sustained use. Projects range in scale from ground-up residences and alpine cabins to urban warehouse conversions and commercial fit-outs.

The firm was awarded the Young Architect Award by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada in 2016 and was recognised as an Emerging Voices recipient by the Architectural League of New York in 2017, affirming its position as one of Canada’s most rigorous and quietly influential contemporary practices.
