These include affordable housing providers, such as the Toronto Community Housing Corporation. The breadth of work is significant. SvN are market leaders in housing and mobility. On the mobility side, SvN believes that transit corridors and mobility hubs should be treated with the same kind of design thinking and intelligence as great municipal theatres, public parks, and grand boulevards. Much of our work centers on the planning and design of station areas, transit corridors, and transit-oriented private land development. On the housing side, SvN offers thought leadership on how housing is designed, built, consumed and owned. Much of our work centers on alternative forms of housing, including purpose-built rental housing, seniors housing, student housing, co-housing, and multi- generational housing. However, we also undertake work within the commercial, institutional, and medical pharmaceutical sectors.” “On the urban design side, we’re split,” Scorgie continues. “Much of our work is secured through a competitive bidding process with public sector agencies, including lower-tier municipal governments (e.g. City of Toronto) and the provincial government (e.g. Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario). We also work with academic and cultural institutions. However, we also work with private land developers and real estate investment trusts. “On the planning side, we offer a range of services including development approvals for private land developers, and land use and policy planning SVN ARCHI TECTS & PLANNERS INC .
