OUR SERVICES include architecture, urban design, universal and accessibility consulting, interior and furniture design, space planning, feasibility studies, and community consultation.
OUR APPROACH is based on the principles of universal accessibility, inclusive design that accommodates the needs of all users; our goal is to design solutions that are sustainable, safe and beautiful; we strive for the highest environmental and building construction standards; we are feminists with a long history of involvement with women’s issues and projects that benefit women and families.
WE STARTED in 1989, first as the design firm Bowley Sinclair, a collaboration between Paula Bowley and Anne Sinclair, then from 1995 to 2004 as Paula Bowley Anne Sinclair Architects Inc. Since then, after Anne moved to Halifax, and Michaela Jones joined the firm, we have been Paula Bowley Architects Inc.
