What ft3 Architecture Landscape Interior Design does

ft3 Architecture Landscape Interior Design is a privately held multidisciplinary design firm founded in 1975 and headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The firm delivers integrated architectural, landscape architecture, and interior design services across three primary verticals: Health & Wellness (acute care hospitals, emergency departments, long-term care, clinics, and wellness centres), Multi-Family Housing (rental apartments, condos, seniors housing, and student accommodations), and Corporate Office (corporate interiors, educational facilities, and commercial spaces). It serves clients primarily across the Canadian Prairies and holds Certificates of Practice in Manitoba, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and the Northwest Territories, with an emerging international presence in China through a partnership with Canada Wellness Institute and More Health on health and wellness facilities in Beijing.

The firm operates as a principal-led practice using industry-standard tools (Revit for BIM modeling, AutoCAD) and a proprietary Integrated Design Process (IDP) that brings architects, landscape architects, and interior designers into project delivery from inception. Notable technical differentiators include the "Small House Model" for long-term care, a design philosophy implemented by founder Rudy Friesen in 1994 that groups residents into households of 10-12 to support domestic routines, and a track record of sustainability credentials including LEED Silver, LEED Gold, and Green Globe certifications across healthcare, education, and mixed-use projects.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services contracts procured primarily via public-sector RFP processes (Shared Health Manitoba, Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, Saskatchewan Health Authority, Alberta Health Services, Universities of Manitoba and Calgary) and direct engagement with private developers and enterprises (North West Company, BDO Canada, Towers Realty Group, Thermea by Nordik Spa-Nature). Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on RFP capture, repeat client relationships, and industry reputation rather than outbound marketing; distribution channels are direct. The named leadership team comprises six principals (Adam Dubyna, Chantal Alary, Doug Gregg, Jerald Peters, Joanne McFadden, Rock Jerome) covering architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, and contract administration, supported by associates and specialist staff in sustainability, marketing, and finance.
