The team from Moriyama Teshima Architects and Bélanger Salach Architecture (previously: Yallowega Bélanger Salach Architecture) attended the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) Annual Conference in Niagara to accept the prestigious Design Excellence Award for winning project, Place des Arts in Sudbury!

The event featured a Celebration of Excellence at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre, followed by the vibrant Archifête at Ravine Winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake. This recognition celebrates the innovative design and community impact of Place des Arts, a cultural facility that provides a unified home for the Francophone arts community in Northern Ontario and showcases the power of architectural collaboration.
