“We had the pleasure of engaging PS Architect for the project of relocating our corporate office headquarters.
Paul's dedication to design excellence was second to none. His easy demeanor made working with him an absolute pleasure for not only myself but for all the consultants and contractors that were involved.
Paul was always extremely accommodating and obliging to our needs. He was also readily available whenever we needed to sit down to discuss or bounce ideas back and forth. The combination of his patience and his relentless drive for perfection provided an extremely successful final design.
Paul, we really appreciate all the late night project meetings that were so beneficial and valuable to the final design of our office.
We have been complimented numerous times on our corporate headquarters since its completion in 2006. Our project success has given us the confidence to recommend PS Architect to many people.
Thank-you for constantly going that extra mile .... (more than once)!”

“Paul came highly recommended to me and did not disappoint! We did a three story addition and a complete interior renovation to our home and the results were stunning. Paul captured our lifestyle and needs perfectly and helped us to create a warm, comfortable and gorgeous home. He genuinely cared about the project and was very innovative in ensuring that his design incorporated every detail that we wanted (plus some!) in a cost-effective and timely manner. Together with his problem solving attitude, Paul’s technical knowledge made the construction process seamless. We are just thrilled with the results and the compliments that we are constantly receiving!

“Paul Shields came very highly recommended to us as an extremely organized and capable architect. He definitely lived up to his reputation. We required a qualified individual to step into the middle of a design and building permit application to coordinate and ensure that all the necessary documents and applications were satisfactory for construction. He did just that! His expertise in project management allowed the project to carry through to completion in a timely and efficient manner. I look forward to working with PSA on future projects.”

“We would like to thank you for your attention, considerations and skill in designing and supervising our cottage project in Muskoka.
Your patience in considering our needs even as they changed from week to week; and your skill in adapting all our thoughts and ideas into a most beautiful yet functional cottage cannot be ignored. We could not have asked for more. It is a dream cottage. And best of all, it came in at a figure close to what you had suggested.
Our family and friends have all commented on the comfortable, luxurious and compatible feel that has been created in this rural area. You have a great gift in translating words and ideas into reality.
Please feel free to use us as a reference at any time and should you wish to show the cottage to anyone, it would be our pleasure.”
- Francine Lastman
“My wife and I worked with Paul Shields and PS Architect for well over a year and were extremely satisfied with all aspects of this full service firm! From the brainstorming/design phase, all the way through construction, Paul involved himself in all facets of this lengthy process including: creative, permit compliance, contractor selection, construction monitoring/troubleshooting, photography and more!
Paul and his team were with us through each step of this project, giving us full confidence at all times, in every decision that we made. This was greatly appreciated as this was a large scale renovation and it was our first time taking on a project of this scope.
Always accessible via email/phone and never hesitant to meet face-to-face, a convenient and relaxed working relationship was achieved. Due to Paul’s kind and friendly demeanor, at times it felt like we were working with a new friend as opposed to a hired hand and perhaps this is his most redeeming characteristic!
We have referred Paul and PS Architect to many of our friends/colleagues and are available to answer questions anytime pertaining to our most excellent experience in dealing with this company.”
- Jeremy and Stephanie Rich
“I hired Paul Shields in 2006 to re-design the front of my house. Not only were his architectural designs and plans professional and comprehensive, but he went above and beyond the call of duty by staying in touch and supporting me throughout the construction process, which involved some unforeseen complications. I am happy with the result of his work, and have received compliments from neighbours on the structural addition. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who might require his services.”
- Karen Lenhardt
“We have worked with many architects over the years and Mr. Shields was extremely easy to work with. He was eager to hear all of our ideas and provide a solution that addressed each one of our concerns. We were especially surprised and impressed when he prepared numerous alternative concepts for us to review. This allowed us to appreciate new and extremely creative variations to our initial concepts. He stayed within budget, made fantastic recommendations for designs and was always available for any kind of questions about resources and materials.
We were so impressed with Paul's dedication and patience to his art that we have proudly recommended him to numerous people. Our builder, who has worked with many architects, mentioned several times that he was the easiest architect he had ever worked with.
Paul's fresh and enthusiastic approach made our project meetings a pleasure. They were positive and constructive each time. I would strongly recommend him and his firm to anyone looking for architectural design or construction services.”

“My wife and I had the opportunity to work with Paul on an extensive renovation / addition to our home. In simple terms, the experience was fantastic!!!
His kind demeanor always left us feeling comfortable in communicating any and all ideas related to the project. Since we were new to the world of construction, Paul exercised extreme care in communicating all steps of the process to us which gave us confidence to know that he represented our best interests during the reconstruction of our home.
Paul and his office were thorough, dedicated to perfection and extremely detail oriented. He was considerate of client needs, budget concerns and took extra care to communicate the vision to us and the contractor whenever it was necessary. He was relentless in pursuit of creative solutions to any issues that arose.
Our home is something that we have been enjoying and sharing with our friends and family. We have taken great pride in the numerous compliments and praises of the transformation in the few months that we have been back living in our home.
Great aesthetic!
Thumbs up to PS Architect!”

“A friend of ours had recommended we contact PS Architect to help us with our desire to expand our office and warehouse facility. We couldn’t have been anymore happier to have found such a professional and experienced Architect.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of our business there were many restrictions we had to work around. Also, it was not feasible for us to move to new premises therefore we had to work with the existing site limitations which proved to be a bit of a mission; a daunting task for anybody to deal with.
But with the expertise of Paul and his firm, he undertook the project, overcame the obstacles and designed a new office extension of 3,500 sq.ft. and a new warehouse of 7,600 sq.ft. He also helped organize and coordinate various people for the purposes of our Preliminary Review Application to the City.
We look forward to working with PS Architect in the near future to see this project through to its construction stage.”
- Paul Szasz, Protectolite Inc.
“Paul's creativity, dedication to his art and ability to work with all associated professionals on the reconstruction of my new clinic, affirmed PSArchitect as being a truly first class Architectural company.
It was a pleasure to work with Paul. His attention to detail and ever present enthusiasm kept my focus on the project's questions and details during the design/construction process. He was present throughout every aspect of the project and gave me great comfort to know that my best interests were always represented.
Paul has an impressive Architectural sense that encompasses both function and an artistic presence. He is at the forefront of the trends, styles, materials and costs that exist today. He is exceptionally well organized and keen when listening and understanding our needs and producing deliverables based on those requirements.
We will and have already recommended Paul as an architect who is both functional and visually capable of producing the most appealing designs. Paul is the type of Architect that will listen to you and have a personal touch with your project.“

“Moonstone Plaza Inc. appointed PS Architect to provide Architectural Design and Development services for our new commercial / medical office building in Toronto.
We were very fortunate to engage a firm with such experience and professionalism to patiently guide us through the process and procedures for this project.
We are extremely happy with the dedicated and committed attitude of PS Architect and were delighted to see the design proposals were exactly what we had envisaged. Paul's attention to detail and his office's ability to illustrate the finished design in 3-D impressed us greatly.
We look forward to continuing a strong relationship with Paul and his firm during the further development and construction phases of our project.”
