"Montreal's a city that we love so much," says Ivy Studio cofounder Philip Staszewski. ‘‘We travel a lot, but every time that we come back, we’re happy to be home. It has a soul, it has an identity, it’s unique in North America, and it has a lot of creativity.”
Founded in 2018 by four young partners, creative firm Ivy Studio specializes in customized architecture and interior design. Cofounders Guillaume B. Riel, David Kirouac, Philip Staszewski, and Gabrielle Rousseau—the latter two also a couple since university—cut their teeth working at different firms, which helped inform their individual and collaborative skillsets. Gabrielle worked for Zébulon Perron, Guillaume for Pierre Thibault, David for Sid Lee Architecture, and Philip for Laurent McComber.
