Construction of the washroom and shower pavilion at Camp Huronda is underway!

Camp Huronda provides children with type 1 diabetes the opportunity to enjoy summer camp with the medical support they need to gain independence and thrive. The new washroom and shower pavilion replaces six older stand-alone facilities, and provides all-gender, accessible washrooms and showers organized in four quadrants to suit the camp’s sleeping cabin arrangements. Beyond the typical washroom and shower provisions, each quadrant includes custom shelving for diabetes device charging, making it easier for campers to engage in camp activities with minimal medical interruption. Additionally, the pavilion is designed as an area of refuge in extreme weather, and includes heating provisions to enable use in spring, summer and fall.

DTAH has been engaged in designing capital improvements for Camp Huronda for many years and are proud to support Diabetes Canada’s mission through our work.

DTAH is working with the City of Regina on their first Complete Streets policy and design guide!

Complete Streets put people first, challenge conventional transportation thinking, and influence every part of street design—no matter the scale or complexity. DTAH is working closely with City staff—and local partners KGS Group and Praxis—to prepare a guide that compliments parallel efforts including the upcoming Transportation Master Plan Update and Vision Zero Road Safety Framework.

Regina is well positioned to create safe, thoughtful, and efficient streets that respond to the Saskatchewan context, help advance climate resiliency efforts, improve livability, and support economic prosperity. 

Finch West LRT (Line 6) is now open to the public!

The new transit line is an exciting development that improves connectivity across northwest Toronto from Keele Street to Humber College. As landscape architects for the 11-kilometer transit line, DTAH led the design of streetscapes throughout the corridor, plazas and surrounds at Finch West Station and Humber College Stop, and landscapes associated with the Ancillary Facilities and the Maintenance and Storage Facility.

The LRT service runs from 6 a.m. – 10 p.m. Monday to Saturday, and 7:30 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Sundays.

Taxiway West District is the first and largest neighbourhood of YZD, the redevelopment of the former Downsview Airport Lands by Northcrest Developments in partnership with Hines. This 40.7- hectare area reimagines the currently industrialized land as a vibrant employment-focused community with a strong emphasis on sustainability, equity, and innovation. DTAH is the Master Landscape Architect for the District and responsible for the public realm vision.

We are pleased to continue our work with the design and implementation of a new park at Garratt Boulevard and Gilley Road, the first in the District. At just under 0.6 hectares, it will deliver high-performance green infrastructure in a compact, urban setting and serve as Toronto’s first “sponge park” which will integrate stormwater management and ecological services with active public uses.

The Carbon Leadership Forum's Embodied Carbon Awards for Ontario celebrates leadership and innovation in reducing embodied carbon across the built environment. The awards spotlight the project teams, designers, builders, and advocates who are driving meaningful progress toward a low-carbon future.

DTAH is pleased to announce that the Landscape Carbon Benchmarking Study, prepared for the City of Toronto, received an award in the Innovation category this year. 

The study analyzed the carbon performance of ten development sites in Toronto, with the goal of evaluating design decisions and their carbon intensities. The document provides helpful frameworks for both practitioners and policymakers in guiding carbon-conscious designs and future policies.

The City of Guelph Council unanimously approved the revised Urban Design Master Plan (UDMP) for the Baker District this week. The revised plan includes an updated approach to parking, an adjusted massing, and higher affordable and accessible unit targets. Approval of the UDMP is an important step in the development’s path to implementation, as it outlines the vision of the Baker District as a thriving community hub that is physically, socially, and environmentally connected to Guelph’s urban fabric.

The Frederick G. Gardiner Expressway has long served as a vital transportation artery across downtown Toronto. Building on the Gardiner East Environmental Assessment outcomes, DTAH​, along with partners GFT and LEA Consulting, was the successful proponent of the competitive procurement to develop the detailed design for the Gardiner and Lake Shore Boulevard East (LSBE) realignment between Cherry Street and the Don Valley Parkway (DVP). 

DTAH is the lead landscape architect as well as the bridge aesthetics advisor. We will guide the design of the LSBE public realm as well as a new open space — one that will link the Lower Don Trail to the rest of the waterfront and integrate place-keeping and placemaking through engagement with Indigenous communities and the public. Drawing on our deep knowledge of Toronto’s waterfront, the project will create an inviting, resilient, and connected new landscape that responds to the existing and historical context of the site.

Jennie Florence Parker Sports Complex received a Hamilton Urban Design and Architecture Award of Excellence in the Open Spaces, Public Spaces & Green Infrastructure category! 

The biennial Urban Design and Architecture Awards recognize and celebrate design excellence in Hamilton. This year, Jennie Florence Parker Sports Complex, designed and implemented by DTAH, was selected as an exemplary project. The Jury commented that they were “enamored with the project […] the site layout of the park buildings was well-integrated to landscape and produced a very comfortable space between the field house and playing fields.” They were “in full agreement of the benefit and joy brought to the community by the introduction of Jennie Florence Parker Sports Complex.”

Located within Hamilton’s Confederation Park, Jennie Florence Parker Sports Complex offers a variety of active recreational opportunities as well as moments for meditative reprieve. As the landscape architects and architects of the project, DTAH designed the project to enhance and celebrate the existing waterfront landscape, while promoting public participation in a diversity of athletic activities (from cricket to pickleball). 

The project incorporates a new Fieldhouse, Maintenance Garage and renovated Gatehouse, providing public washrooms, changerooms and retail concessions. The buildings frame outdoor spaces including a new drop off plaza, and a large plaza for community gatherings, with low-impact development strategies employed throughout to support ecology, reduce erosion, and improve user comfort and amenity. A natural themed playground inspires exploration and stewardship, elegantly incorporated into the landscape while capturing views to the lake.
