RAPHAEL VEZINA
raphael vezina
intern architect OAQ
Raphael has a multidisciplinary background in business administration and architecture. He began his career in Québec as a project manager and estimator for a general contractor, where he gained firsthand experience in construction processes, budgeting, and project coordination. His transition into design was driven by a passion for architecture’s role in advancing sustainability and community well-being. His academic and professional journey has taken him through research initiatives focused on sustainable design in both Munich and Montréal. He is particularly engaged with cradle-to-cradle design principles, low carbon design, deep energy retrofits, and the broader potential for architecture to positively impact both people and the environment. Outside the studio, Raphael finds inspiration snowboarding and climbing in the Kootenay mountains.
