RDH Architects (RDHA) RDHA is a full service architectural design studio located in Toronto. Originally founded in 1919, RDHA is one of Canada’s oldest practices. Over the last century, the firm has produced a wide range of work, from turn of the century residences and corporate headquarters, to industrial facilities, academic buildings and libraries. The core of our current work is dedicated to the public realm, and although we do not restrict the nature of the projects we take on, we have become first and foremost public architects.

While the firm is one of the oldest practices in Canada, the current partners have transformed the firm over the last decade, redefining the office structure, the creative design process and the mission to produce Architecture of the highest caliber.
