Design Plus Architecture Inc.

What Design Plus Architecture Inc. does

Design Plus Architecture Inc. is a privately held, full-service architectural and interior design firm headquartered in Moncton, New Brunswick, operating since 1996 under predecessor activity and formally incorporated in 2006 by founder Christian Hébert. The firm serves clients across Atlantic Canada in six primary vertical segments — Educational Institutions and Commercial & Office (primary), with secondary exposure to Healthcare, Institutional & Recreation, Residential, and Hospitality & Wellness — delivering projects that integrate architecture and interior design under a contemporary lens. Bilingual service delivery in English and French is a defining commercial attribute for the Acadian and broader New Brunswick market.

The firm operates a traditional architectural practice supported by industry-standard design and documentation software, including Revit for BIM and construction documentation, Lumion for 3D rendering, and Photoshop and Illustrator for visual presentation. Service offerings are organized into nine categories spanning core architecture, interior design, educational projects, commercial and office projects, institutional and recreational facilities, residential projects, healthcare projects, and feasibility studies, with associated recognition in industry awards. Founder Christian Hébert, a former president of the Association of Architects of New Brunswick with 25+ years of experience and prior tenure at Saucier+Perrotte Architectes, leads alongside partner Léo Goguen, a Université de Montréal graduate who joined in 2012 and became partner in 2013.

Commercially, the firm operates on a project-based professional services revenue model with fees determined per engagement based on scope and complexity; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customer relationships are developed through direct client engagement and the firm's portfolio-based reputation in the Atlantic Canada architecture community. The firm maintains an active hiring posture, recruiting architects and interior designers for its Moncton office, and has been continuously operating with no disclosed external investment, institutional backing, or M&A activity in the available source materials.
