Junior Planner / Urban Designer – Boniface Oleksiuk Politano Architects

Organization Description:

BOP is built on a history of great projects spanning 30+ years across North America. Our team has designed and built numerous projects with a broad range of clients. From large-scale master plans, to more intimate community based projects and from project conception to opening day we have done it all. In all of our work we are focused on creating lasting communities. Places that are vibrant, sustainable and walkable. We believe in the life of urban places and infuse our work with a dedication to those ingredients that make urban life vital.

Our work is based on a belief in the connectivity of buildings to their surroundings; that structures support the life of the street, and that a vibrant public realm creates better living environments. We believe that a dense mix of uses in close proximity generate better community life and, ultimately, better societies. We have proven this over time. Clients consistently return to work with us because we work collaboratively with them to create successful projects. Cities support our ideas because our work serves the goals of communities and neighbourhoods.

We are a full service architectural and urban design practice with experience in numerous typologies and at all stages of the project. We excel in delivering thoughtful and dynamic design solutions on projects where a combination of uses come together.
Project types include:
- Residential (all types and scales);
- Hotel;
- Office;
- Community Buildings;
- Master Planning;
- Urban Design;
- Mixed Use.
