Who we are

Architects Toronto

A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of cultivated enriched heart–Frank Lloyd Wright


NIA Architects Inc. was founded in 2009 by talented Toronto architects, Nadeem and Tahira Irfan, and is licensed by the Ontario Association of Architecture. NIA means new, innovative, and bright, which most aptly describes the essence of our firm. We believe that architecture has a symbiotic relationship with its surroundings, therefore the design of a structure should compliment its surroundings and the people living within.

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you-Frank Llyod Wright


We are a constantly growing Toronto-based firm with a committed and enthusiastic team that is well trained to create the dreams of our clients. Each member of the firm brings a unique perspective and skill to the NIA team, working together in harmonic cooperation in order to achieve the goals of our clients. We believe in having strong foundational relationships with our clients which is why we remain in constant communication with our clients from the beginning of the project until the very end. All of our team members are continuously updated with the latest technologies and products in the fields of architecture and construction.

At NIA Architects Inc., we believe in being an integral part of the construction process of a project to ensure that the project meets the high standards of the client as well as our firm. We offer complete packages that cover everything from preliminary drawings to schematic and permit drawings and then to site plan approvals. Our designs are reflections of the clients’ needs, wants, and lifestyles.
