Farrow Partnership’s roots extend back to 1958 when George Farrow—who continues his active role—was a partner in one of Canada’s largest architectural firms. The early years were spent designing schools, small churches, working in the outlying small towns and rural areas of Western Ontario.
In May of 1998, Tye Farrow, a former principal with Dunlop Farrow Architects, co-founded Salter Farrow Pilon Architects. Shortly thereafter, George Farrow, a founding partner of Dunlop Farrow Architects and partner in charge of many of the firm’s major projects, joined the firm, bringing with him over forty years of experience. Farrow Partnership Architects, as a successor firm, has been in business since 1998 and designed over $2.5 billion worth of construction projects. A notable influence on the firm has been Tye Farrow’s experience prior to his post-graduate studies, when he worked in the London, England office of architect Eberhard Zeidler. In 1988, Mr. Zeidler presented Tye with the Toronto Arts Foundation Protégé Award in his honour. The firm has rapidly evolved into a world leader in creating health-focused architecture that lifts the human spirit while advancing business goals. Tye Farrow’s groundbreaking approach to promoting wellness at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and the Credit Valley Hospital in Canada is viewed internationally as setting a new standard for health care design. |
