Growing up in Wawa Ontario, Francis’ passion for utilitarian and green building design was shaped by Northern Ontario’s spectacular wilderness, challenged by the forestry and mining industries. This life-long affinity for sustainable design, combined with 25 years of practical experience has led to a broad range of small and large building projects that demonstrate thoughtful transformation of space while being responsive to the environment and providing enduring value.
Francis has been teaching architecture in Toronto for the past 10 years, and has travelled extensively throughout Europe, Asia and South America for both research and for work. Whenever possible, Francis’ proposes collaborative projects utilizing student talent to improve indigenous communities.
