010110 Architecture + Urbanism

What 010110 Architecture + Urbanism does

010110 Architecture + Urbanism (legal entity: Atelier 010110 Architecture + Urbanism Inc.) is a privately held, Lethbridge-headquartered architectural practice founded by Spencer Court on January 1, 2010 and incorporated in summer 2011. The firm delivers architectural design, planning, interiors, and building-science services across four customer segments — residential, business/commercial, institutional, and hospitality/recreation — serving clients primarily in Western Canada. Core service offerings are organized into individual a la carte engagements (Mini Consult, Discovery Consultation, Pre-Purchase Consultation, Concept Design, Concept Development, Measured Drawings, Architectural Visualization including VR/AR/MR, Building Envelope Consulting, Zoning & Code Analysis, Building Condition Assessment, and Millwork Design) and tiered packaged streams (Essential, Standard, Premium), with full-service delivery through Design-Bid-Build, Architect-Led Design-Build, and an exclusive Diamond Concierge Service.

The practice operates a "collective" model: a five-person core team (Spencer Court, Angela Court, Chris Allen, Thisura Kehelpannala, Hilary Steed) is augmented by named external specialists (Design Shop, SMP Engineering, RJC Engineers, Fenster Tek, Urban Conclusions, Neil Prakash) who are assembled into project-specific teams. Technology capability is anchored in 3D modeling, architectural visualization, virtual/augmented/mixed reality experiences, building science expertise, and an iterative pre-design planning framework, rather than proprietary software. Revenue is generated through professional services fees structured as a percentage of construction cost (with fixed-fee a la carte services ranging from $195/hour to $7,000+ for early-stage design work), distributed via a sales-led, discovery-consultation-driven GTM motion supported by direct engagement, professional referrals, website inquiries, and earned media coverage.
