Architect Required for Mid-Rise Residential Development – Full Architectural Drawing Set (Ontario Building Code / City of London)
Description:
Hello,
I am a developer in London, Ontario, seeking an experienced Architect familiar with the Ontario Building Code (OBC), City of London zoning processes, and Site Plan Approval requirements.
We are advancing a proposal for a 6-storey, 60-unit mid-rise apartment building at 1474 Kilally Road, and require architectural services to transform the attached planning vision into a full architectural design and submission package.
I have attached the Vision Brief for the project, which outlines:
Site conditions, frontage, depth, and municipal servicing availability
London Plan context (Neighbourhoods Place Type & Civic Boulevard frontage)
Proposed zoning approach (R8-4 with special provisions)
Preliminary concept plan and performance metrics
Planning considerations including natural hazard limits and UTRCA constraints
Required planning applications (ZBA + Site Plan Control)
Ideal candidates should have:
Demonstrated experience with mid-rise residential buildings in Ontario
Strong command of OBC Part 3 and Site Plan Approval processes
Experience working with hazard lands, Conservation Authority constraints, and sloped sites
Ability to produce a full permit-ready architectural package
Scope of Work
1. Site Plan Development
Refine the conceptual plan into a fully compliant site plan
Confirm all setbacks, landscaped areas, and lot coverage
Parking layout (38 surface spaces + integrated under-building parking)
Waste collection and truck turnaround area
Fire route design and access considerations
Integration with hazard limits, slope, toe of slope, and UTRCA constraints
2. Architectural Floor Plans
Complete level-by-level drawings for the 6-storey, ~60-unit building
Unit layouts & efficiency confirmation (120 UPH target)
Structural logic for mid-rise construction
Ground floor layout, amenity spaces, servicing rooms, core placement
Integration of under-building parking area where applicable
3. Building Elevations & Cross-Sections
Four elevations demonstrating massing, articulation, and height (22.0 m max)
Sections showing slope interface and parking levels
Compliance with City of London design expectations for Civic Boulevards
4. Ontario Building Code Review
Provide a comprehensive OBC Part 3 analysis including:
Building classification & construction requirements
Fire separations, exit requirements, & travel distances
Spatial separation analysis (especially for north and east lot lines)
Barrier-free compliance
Egress and amenity access
Parking and loading requirements
