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.
ABBARCH Architecture Inc is a full service architectural firm and practices throughout Western Canada and Ontario. The firm has recently expanded rapidly and has opened offices in Toronto (2003) and Edmonton (2004). Both branch offices are fully staffed and linked via computer network to the head office in Vancouver. Principals Michael Burton-Brown, Jeremy Woolf and David O'Sheehan are based in Vancouver. In 2003, Kenneth Grotsky relocated to Toronto to spearhead the new office there, and is also joined by our newest principal; Michelle Beggs who is also located in the Toronto office.
To provide an effective middle-management layer to the firm, there are also twelve Associates and two Directors.
