Omar Gandhi describes the processes behind a couple of his firm’s projects, including the Peggy’s Cove viewing platform in Nova Scotia and a private residence overlooking the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. He discusses how public projects can stir up controversy, but also create important change that is subsequently recognized by the public. He also explains his process of collaboration, and details how his early experiences as an architect shaped his perspective on authenticity and work ethic.
