Established in 2016 by architect and urban planner Stephane Laroye, Stephane Laroye Architect Inc. (SLA) is a Vancouver, BC-based architectural and urban design firm dedicated to creating high-performance, sustainable, and contextually sensitive environments.

SLA operates at the intersection of architecture, urban planning, and infrastructure, specializing in complex urban sites and innovative building technologies. The firm is recognized for its leadership in the “Wood-First” movement, leveraging mass timber and engineered wood solutions to reduce carbon footprints while delivering elegant, functional spaces.

Our team specializes in Multi-Family, Mixed-Use, Placemaking, and Infrastructure projects. We are committed to a “full-service” approach, providing continuity from initial schematic design and detailed documentation through to field review, contract administration, and project closeout.

At SLA, we create meaningful work through intentional collaboration and a meticulous attention to detail. Our goal is simple: to design projects that are contextual, sensitive, and fundamentally loved by their communities.
