Description

Farrow Partnership Architects is globally recognized for creating life-enhancing, high performance places for health and learning. Working individually or in joint venture, the firm has designed more than $2.5 billion worth of construction projects worldwide. The firm offers full architectural services, as well as facilities operations analysis, risk management strategies and facilitated design thinking methodologies.

Clients choose Farrow because they want to be a part of an exciting co-creation process that reveals greater possibilities for moving forward. The firm’s overall goal is to create enduring value through a holistic, non-linear, big thinking approach that addresses the practical, emotional and sustainable dimensions of each assignment.

Farrow’s visionary achievements at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and the Credit Valley Hospital in Canada are viewed internationally as setting new standards for health-centric design. The success of these projects demonstrates that such facilities can be a economic asset as well as a source of civic pride and prosperity.
International recognition includes Best International Design award from the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) in the U.K. This award recognized the firm’s "new thinking (that) influences the UK’s future experience of delivering healthcare in the 21st century."

The Stockholm-based International Academy for Design and Health has singled out Farrow for achieving buildings that "tick all the boxes, in terms of civic pride, sustainability, functionality and creating a genuinely inspiring space." Senior partner Tye Farrow has also been awarded the Academy’s first Architect Award for making "a significant contribution to health and humanity." In 2007 he received the U.S.-based Healthcare Facilities Symposium Individual Architect Award.

ADVANCED COLLABORATIVE METHODS
Farrow Partnership draws on the research of globally recognized leaders in the fields of group decision making and collaborative process. The firm’s methodology has been designed to engage clients in a thinking process that leads to realizing greater opportunities for the same cost. This objective is achieved through a consulting model that brings out the best contribution from everyone at the planning table.

In this way, clients are prepared to make more knowledgeable choices with regard to three dimensions required for the ultimate project goal of "getting it right": function, quality and impact. Proven workshops such as Common Ground, Critical Eye™ and Scenarios for the Future™ provide a predictable process for generating better-than-expected results in a compressed time frame.

OPERATIONS, RISK ANALYSIS and INNOVATION
The firm’s Capital Planning and Strategic Services division offers expertise in strategic visioning and planning, risk management and business case development. Farrow Partnership is also involved in ongoing research regarding how progressive improvements and innovation actually happen. This research has allowed the firm to engage clients and other stakeholders in building better, environments for working, learning and heath.

CLIENT RECOGNITION
Farrow’s client CEOs and senior managers have won several prestigious awards for their role in creating a meaningful legacy that goes beyond competent project delivery. These client-centred awards recognize the individual for demonstrating leadership in achieving their particular organizations’ strategic goals by championing distinctive, emotionally connected, human-centric design.
