Elmira Aghsaei Architect AIBC. Founder, Principal

M.Arch. B.Arch. WELL AP* M.RAIC

Advisory Design Panel of City of Surrey

As a highly passionate designer, I am dedicated to crafting meaningful designs that positively transform communities, champion walkable cities, prioritize social sustainability in architecture, and enhance health and wellness. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of contributing to prestigious mixed-use projects that have left an indelible mark on British Columbia and Canada.


I have made significant contributions to renowned projects like 1515, an iconic 42-story residential tower nestled in the heart of downtown Vancouver. I have also played a vital part in the development of the 52-story 3 Civic Plaza mixed-use tower and biggest school development in BC history.

Through researching the urban, ecological, and social context, my process-driven approach emerges through co-creating a design that harmoniously integrates with its surroundings, embodying a holistic architectural narrative.

I have a passion for community building and I contribute to my community as a member of the Advisory Design Panel for the City of Surrey. Through my involvement, I actively help shape projects and policies that impact the built environment in British Columbia.
