“To me, architecture is about creating a unique place in the world,” says Richard Henriquez.

Since 1969, Henriquez has consistently demonstrated an innate ability to create vibrant, culturally-rich communities and spaces that stand the test of time. Awarded the Order of Canada for his contributions to Canadian Architecture, his iconic buildings comprise a significant portion of the architectural legacy of Vancouver?s lower mainland and Canada at large.
