SHELDON RETIRED FROM BDP Quadrangle IN 2021.

Sheldon works in close collaboration with vertically integrated development clients on multiple project typologies and large mixed-use projects, integrating the studio’s design expertise with a commitment to high quality architecture and urbanism, while supporting the goals and aspirations of the client. He specialises in the design of large-scale residential and mixed-use developments, including the realisation of comprehensive master plan for the new community of Downtown Markham which, to date, has completed fifteen buildings, including 1 million square feet of commercial and retail space and multi-family buildings housing over 3,000 residential units.

Sheldon is inspired by the potential for applying high-quality urban intensification to improve the social, economic and environmental health of cities. He is a Fellow of Leadership for Environment and Development (LEAD), and a regular speaker at industry and professional associations on environmental issues, and how they affect building design and facility management. He has developed and taught a course on sustainable design at Ryerson University and is currently a member of the City of Vaughan Design Review Panel.

Looking ahead, what will be the key characteristic of your specialism in 2050?

"Designing for humanity, beauty and social engagement – to mitigate the impacts of speed, technology and climate change."
