His recent projects include Les Terrasses de la Chaudière, a sustainable redevelopment of the largest government complex in Canada, Carling Campus Project (CCP), a recapitalization of a 12-building campus, Ottawa ON, consolidating operations from over 40 facilities, and culturally significant projects such as Together House, a historic transformation project of the former US Embassy into a building that promotes Nation to Nation relations, reconciliation and self determination, while casting a renewed relationship with Indigenous Peoples and Canadians.
Tobias is an outdoor enthusiast and enjoys canoeing, camping and hiking around the unique landscapes and environs of Ontario, Quebec and the Appalachian Mountains in northeastern United States. He draws great inspiration and meaning for design from these activities in nature, as it develops a strong connection to our shared natural environment and the stories these landscapes symbolize.
