What Brisbin Brook Beynon does

Brisbin Brook Beynon Architects (BBB Architects) is a Toronto-based, full-service architectural firm founded in 1984 and operating as a private partnership of five named principals (Brian Brisbin, Murray Beynon, Greg Alexander, Chris O'Reilly, Tone Frisina) with 51-100 employees. The firm delivers architectural design, interior design, project management, and master planning services across four primary sectors: sports and entertainment venues, residential and mixed-use developments, commercial/institutional facilities, and large-scale urban master planning. Its underlying technology stack consists of industry-standard architectural design software; no proprietary AI, data platforms, or APIs are offered. Notable engagements include the Wells Fargo Center renovation (Philadelphia Flyers), Scotiabank Arena $350 million phased renovation (Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment), Madison Square Garden, TD Garden, KIA Forum, the 138 Yorkville luxury condominium tower, and the 100-acre Brampton LIVE master plan.

BBB generates revenue through professional architectural and interior design fees on a project-based model, typically structured as fixed fees or percentage-of-construction-cost arrangements for engagements spanning concept through construction administration. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales: the firm engages directly with project owners, sports franchises, municipalities, and developers through design competitions, RFPs, and long-term relationship-based sourcing, with no public pricing tiers. The firm's North American base is augmented by two wholly-owned subsidiaries — SCIA (incorporated 2008, US sports venue programming and design) and SCI (strategic programming, financial planning, and revenue consulting for sports facilities) — which extend its sports and entertainment practice into the United States and deepen the integrated design-plus-strategy offering. BBB operates internationally, with documented projects in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Montenegro, Russia, China, and Japan.
