Description

George Robb Architect Peter Stewart and Donald F. Scott (in partnership) The firm of George Robb Architect has operated, since 1991, as a sole proprietorship under the direction of Peter Stewart and Donald Scott in partnership. In addition to professional architectural accreditation, both principals are members of the Canadian Association of Professional Heritage Consultants. Donald Scott is a member of the Presbyterian Church of Canada's Committee on Church Architecture and Peter Stewart is a member of the Advisory Board of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario. We conduct our practice at Suite 201, 4800 Dundas Street West in Toronto. Both partners reside in the northwest part of the GTA but a wide variety of projects have been undertaken throughout the years in southern and southwestern Ontario. We count among our recent clients the Town of Oakville, the City of St.Catharines, the York Region District School Board, the Essex County District School Board, Credit Valley Conservation and a variety of private institutional and commercial clients including Knox Presbyterian Church in Toronto. While the work has included a high percentage of renovation and adaptive re-use projects, in more recent years we have had the privilege of being involved in a significant number of important heritage conservation projects. George Robb Architect (1923-1991) The firm was established in Toronto in 1952 by George Alexander Robb. George successfully combined his teaching career with private practice for forty-five years. He was an associate professor at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Architecture from 1948 until retirement in 1984. For many years, he was a contributing editor to Canadian Interiors magazine. His work in private practice attracted awards for the Valhalla Inn, Etobicoke (OAA, 1962), the Dumfries Mutual Insurance Company (City of Cambridge, 1984) and the Country Day School, King City (OAA and Canadian Wood Council, 1988). George received the inaugural Community Service Award from the Ontario Association of Architects in 1988 for his tireless and continuous advocacy over his forty-five year career. He was, posthumously, nominated to the Honour Role of the OAA in 1992 for his contribution to the profession. We are privileged to have known him as a mentor and a friend.
