DGBK Architects DGBK was founded in 1972 and has been steadily regarded as one of the leading design firms in Vancouver. Our commitment to producing exceptional buildings and lasting design solutions is intrinsic to the way we work our ability to listen and coalesce the client’s needs is what sets us apart from other firms. Quality of design and functionality are two of the fundamentals of architecture that we value most, since it is our belief that great buildings must inspire the public, while also providing a clear and workable design solution. We have built our practice around this philosophy and with the intent of becoming leaders in specific sectors of architectural design including, Health Care, Education, Recreation and Public Safety. From the success of our approach, DGBK has expanded to offices in Shanghai and Beijing, bringing our skill, expertise and methodology to a variety of new challenges and new regions. The strength of our work speaks for itself but more significantly it is also echoed by the testimony of our clients.
