Progressive architecture inspired by unique clients 

At Reflect Architecture, each project begins with a search for what inspires—something specific to each client, discovered through dialogue, context, and careful attention. This foundation shapes the work, allowing spaces to reflect the values and perspectives that define them.

Each project is a consideration of its people and place. Through thoughtful conversation, contextual references, and design exploration, a clear narrative direction is established, informing how space, material, and light are developed throughout the architectural process.

Grounded in progressive materials and techniques, the work responds to intersecting conditions - ecology, culture, and community - while remaining attentive to how architecture is experienced and inhabited.

Committed to clarity in aesthetic, communication, and intent, the studio imagines architecture that reflects the realities of today while considering the needs of tomorrow.

TREVOR WALLACE

Principal | OAA, M.Arch, B.Arch.S

Trevor leads his practice with a spirit of earnest exploration; asking critical questions that invite possibilities for relevant and provocative spaces and architecture across a diverse range of project scales and typologies. For Trevor, designing considerate architecture begins with a careful and insightful examination of the relationship between people and place. In particular, he advocates for environmentally responsible architecture that responds to our rapidly evolving climate.

Born and raised in Toronto, Trevor pursued architectural studies at Carleton University, where he completed both his Undergraduate and Master’s degrees. His extensive travels and time spent living in Spain continue to influence how he understands the nuanced and evolving relationships between people and their built environments—particularly how contemporary cultures adapt existing architecture for new uses. His current work spans from LA to Riyadh and is infused with considered cultural references, shaped by an ability to draw aesthetic and cultural parallels across various regions, ensuring the studio’s architecture is both progressive and thoughtfully rooted in a sense of place. 

Trevor is a licensed practitioner certified by the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA). He returns to his alma mater periodically as a guest critic, and serves as an OAA mentor.
