About Us

Skinner & Skinner Architects

Our practice is rooted in timeless principles—natural light, rich textures, authentic materials, and a seamless connection to nature. We design spaces that engage the senses, offering both openness and refuge while fostering environments of dignity and well-being.

Founded in 1997 by Bradley Skinner, our firm builds upon the 30 year legacy of Paul M. Skinner Architect, blending generations of expertise. With nearly 60 years of architectural experience, we remain dedicated to thoughtful, enduring design—an approach that has earned us national recognition and awards.

Bradley Skinner, Principal

Bradley Skinner is renowned for his exceptional eye for proportion and harmony, creating designs that feel both timeless and deeply attuned to the present. Whether working in a modern or traditional language, he brings a rare ability to reinterpret architectural styles with sensitivity and originality, crafting bespoke spaces that reflect the client’s vision while elevating it beyond expectation. His ability to truly listen—understanding not just what clients say but what they aspire to—translates into spaces that are as deeply personal as they are architecturally refined.

His portfolio spans residential, institutional, and retail architecture, each project distinguished by a meticulous attention to detail and a profound understanding of space, light, and materiality. His designs are not bound by a singular aesthetic but instead respond intuitively to context, history, and the unique character of each site.

Bradley’s foundational understanding of architecture was shaped by both formal education and lived experience. Awarded an entrance scholarship to the University of Toronto School of Architecture based on his portfolio, he later studied in Florence, Italy—an experience that deepened his innate sense of rhythm, proportion, and classical design principles.

A registered architect with the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) and a Fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (FRAIC), Bradley is also an active member of the London Society of Architects. Dedicated to the craft and culture of architecture, he is an active mentor of the RAIC syllabus program and shares his knowledge through lectures and professional advocacy, continually shaping the conversation on thoughtful, enduring design.
