Brad Smith, the Principal Architect, is an expert in building dreams.

An architect's role extends beyond providing a service.

“We had the opportunity to work with Brad on a major renovation project we undertook. He is wonderful to work with in every way! Responsive, professional, creative, resourceful, he was truly a fantastic partner for us on our project. Brad is approachable yet worldly, a great listener and an effective communicator. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an architect in Windsor-Essex!”

“Finally, we found an architect that understood us! We had spent thousands of dollars and worked with several architects to just render us concepts of our Mid-Century home extension. One was good (just too minimalist) and the rest were absolutely horrific! We truly gave up and just accepted we would never find an architect that could capture our vision...Then we found Brad.We absolutely loved this collaborative experience!!! Brad brings an artistic mind to a very mathematical discipline. He completely captured our vision of combining Mid Century with modern. Finding someone who is both creative, artistic and meticulous, is NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE. Trust me, we looked for a very long time.Always responsive, professional and really darn good at what he does. I don't know what more I can say, other than this is the longest review I have ever written. If you have a cool project and are struggling to find an architect that understands your vision…do yourself a HUGE favour and hire Felix Culpa!”

"I have used this firm on two projects to date with a third one starting soon. These projects have been in Canada and Bahamas. Brad has an excellent ability to see the big picture of the project vision and deliver finished drawings on time. His work is far better than I had hoped for. I would highly recommend this firm."
