'FIRM PROFILE:'

Hello, my name is Otto Hammer and I have more than thirty nine years of experience in the building industry. In 2005, I was awarded a Diploma in Architecture from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. My architectural education was preceded by a strong technical background in the building technologies and building engineering technologies. They provided me with a valuable background, understanding and insight into the critical aspects of durable, enduring building designs, and over the years I have worked with many significant Canadian architects. In 2011, I became a member of the Manitoba Association of Architects (MAA) as well as the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (MRAIC) and I have been practicing as a professional architect ever since I established my own practice in Winnipeg in 2011. In 2012 I became registered with the (OAA) Ontario Association of Architects. From 1977 to 2002, I worked for several well established Architectural firms in Winnipeg, as Senior Technologist, Intern Architect, and Project Manager. I was a mentor in the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) Syllabus program beginning in 2005 in Winnipeg until, and I have also been involved in the Manitoba Building Envelope Council of Manitoba. The sacredness of personal space, (whether a single family residence, multiple family residences, an institutional space, an assembly space, or a place of worship, a school, etc.) all are fascinating and engaging design manifestations and not problems. As manifestations they transcend beyond problematic and begin to have a life of their own. From my early years as a technologist to today, I involved myself in becoming adept at adaptive re-use designs with consideration of the historic context and the relevance of the original building. My firm offers design excellence with a vast wealth of knowledge and experience. My innovative designs and established commitment to quality has earned respect from both the architectural profession and clients. My emphasis is on quality design and is built on an understanding that input from the client is critical to the design process. The firm's philosophy is founded on the belief that understanding the client's desires, needs, and goals is an essential first step in generating a design that is both functionally and aesthetically successful. Technical excellence, adherence to established schedules and budgets, and long-term performance are among the important design objectives. As the principle of Otto Hammer Architect, I get personally involved and I am involved in every project starting from setting up and supervising the design direction, to the final completion of construction. This personal attention results in projects of the highest quality and design excellence. 'Philosophy/ methodology overview:'
