About Us
FBM
For more than 100 years, we have been creating spaces that enhance the quality of life within them and the communities they serve. We call this people-driven design.
Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the studio is comprised of architects, interior designers, and planners committed to creating meaningful relationships between people, place, and building. Our studio is actively engaged in teaching, research, and practice to create a better shared future.
As a result, we work at multiple scales to create projects from neighbourhood greenhouses to community hospitals; seaside homes to mixed-use residential districts; and civic institutions to main streets in rural towns. Our designs are inspired by landscape and climate, social and ecological responsibility, and the rhythms of everyday life. We create spaces that bring people dignity and delight while enhancing the communities in which we work.
In March 2025, FBM entered into a Partnership with Dillon Consulting Limited.

What We Offer
Our Services
Our lives unfold in and around buildings—they are more than spaces; they are platforms for our lives. Inspiring buildings change the way we live by changing the way we feel. Our context-rich designs are the result of research into the rhythms, climate, history, and culture of a place.
A studio of collaborating architects, interior designers, planners, and various subject matter experts, we are responsible for the design of a wide range of built environments. Specialty areas of practice—research, accessibility, envelope, and sustainable design—complement our core offerings and further our understanding of holistic building science and user experience.
