Giannone Petricone Associates Inc. Architects (GPA) is a Toronto based design firm made up of over 40 architects, led by principals Ralph Giannone and Pina Petricone. Expanding the edges of our discipline – we design strategically to foster social relationships, inventively using materials to enrich the senses, and creating places of quality that improve everyday experiences.
We engage at every scale, and do not separate urban design, from building or interior design strategy. Ideas drive our work regardless of project size or typology, and we believe every project significantly informs the conceptual and rigorous underpinning of the next.
Italian Architect, Ernesto Rogers’ declaration “Dal cucchiaio alla città” (From the spoon to the city) coined in 1952 at the Charter of Athens explains what the typical approach of an architect should be: designing a spoon, a chair, and a lamp and in the same day working on a skyscraper. Whether designing furnishings or interiors, buildings, or new urban communities, we shape the city at every scale. Quality design is essential for the wellbeing and inclusion of every citizen. Durability is at the core of our mandate for the greatest positive impact, with the smallest carbon footprint.
