ABBARCH Architecture Inc was founded in 1979 as Annand Burton-Brown Architects by Michael Burton-Brown and Ian Annand. In 2000, Ian Annand sold his interest in the firm to Jeremy Woolf and David O'Sheehan and the firm became The ABBARCH Partnership Architects. Kenneth Grotsky joined the partnership in 2003 and became the fourth principal. In 2007, the firm incorporated and became ABBARCH Architecture Inc. In September 2009, Michelle Beggs became the second principal in our Toronto office.
