projects of varying sizes, different scopes and
across many locations, and Merrick's resulting
portfolio is comprised of commercial, residen-
tial and mixed use projects, as well as signifi-
cant buildings in the education and healthcare
sectors. “We are grateful to maintain a reputa-
tion that is humanity based. Our projects have a
sense of soul in them and we frequently receive
positive feedback about the aesthetics and the
feeling one gets through our projects.” One
project that put Merrick on the map was Ca-
thedral Place, an award-winning office tower in
downtown Vancouver that received recognition
through its distinctive aesthetic and high qual-
ity detail. The project solidified the practice’s
reputation and critics and clients took note that
Merrick had the capacity to produce buildings,
urban spaces and unique environments that
challenged the norm. “It’s about communica-
tion with your clients, rolling up your sleeves
and reflecting on what approach is going to
maximize one’s goal. This is high on our radar in
working through solutions.”
