Diane Thode, OAQ, AAPPQ, RAIC, LEED AP, Partner (See images)
A genuine love for architecture, a patient ear, and a passion for people are some characteristics that set Diane apart. An important aspect of her practice is linked to the “liveability' of a space. Diane brings her painting and drawing skills to each project to create more human and colourful environments. As an architect with a Chemistry degree, she also has a priviledged viewpoint of the laboratory environment and has developed an expertise in this field. As related personal interests, Diane has been involved in humanitarian projects both in Thailand and Montreal and aims to further explore the concept of low tech ecological construction as a means towards a more sustainable future.
