American Institute of Architects

Toon Dreessen has joined the AIA (www.aia.org) as a international member; this provides access to a greater range of technical documents and resources so as to be able to provide a broader range of services and a higher standard of documentation to Ottawa's architectural community. If you are interested in more information, browse the website of the AIA; of particular interest is the document "you and your architect" (http://www.aia.org/pub_highlight1).

Longfields Community Church

Dreessen Architect Inc is pleased to announce that we were successful in being shortlisted for this exciting project to develop a new church for the Longfields community in Barrhaven, a growing community in Ottawa. After presenting our architectural concepts and demonstating our committment to a detailed programming and design study, Dreessen Architect Inc developed concepts for a variety of possible schemes for the church. In the end, the LCC opted to work with another firm but Dreessen Architect came a very close second place to winning this exciting project; this puts Dreessen Architect ahead of many other firms, despite being a relative new comer to the Ottawa architectural community. We would like to thank the community for the oppertunity and wish to congratulate the LCC on using the Ontario Association of Architect's Quality Based Selection process. Dreessen Architect wishes the very best to the LCC and looks forward to many more opertunities to meet with other community groups.
