What Affinity Architecture Inc does

Affinity Architecture Inc is a privately held architecture firm headquartered at 227 Stafford Street in Winnipeg, Manitoba, operating as a Prime Consultant on multi-family residential, automotive retail, commercial, institutional, and technical building projects across Winnipeg and Western Canada. The firm is led by Principal Evan Hanson, who holds 16 years of Prime Consulting experience and credentials as a registered architect across multiple provincial associations (MAA, SAA, AAA, MRAIC, LEED AP). The practice is staffed by 20 professionals including 4 Registered Architects, 4 Project Managers, 8 Architectural Technologists/Interns, 2 Contract Administrators, and 2 Administrative Support staff, organized to deliver the full project lifecycle from programming and planning through design and to completion.

The firm's service portfolio spans five core service lines: Multi-Family Residential Architecture, Sales and Service Facility Design (primarily automotive dealerships), Office/Industrial/Technical Building Design, Commercial Architecture, and Interior Design as an add-on. Notable technical capabilities include Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) construction for energy-efficient residential envelopes, LEED-certified sustainable design (demonstrated by the City of Winnipeg East Yards project achieving LEED Gold on 104,000 sq. ft.), and acoustic modeling for large-volume institutional spaces. The firm operates a custom project-based pricing model with multi-year contracts, engaging directly with clients as Prime Consultant without intermediaries, and maintains strategic construction-side partnerships (e.g., Concord Projects Ltd.) to deliver design-builder engagements on accelerated schedules.

The customer base is concentrated in Western Canada and includes private real estate developers (anchored by multi-phase engagements such as the 400+-unit Parkview Terrace development), the University of Manitoba (multiple laboratory, atrium, and renovation projects), the City of Winnipeg (LEED Gold municipal facility), the Dilawri Group (repeat automotive dealership work across Crown Honda, Mazda, Toyota, Acura, Nissan brands), Salvation Army Centre of Hope, Swan Lake First Nation, Calm Air, and other institutional and commercial clients. The firm is independently owned, has no disclosed external investment, no parent company, and no M&A activity, operating as a stable regional practice with a portfolio-driven growth model.
