Diego Morettin – BArch | OAA | MRAIC | EDAC

Diego’s belief in the power of design to positively contribute to a community’s wellbeing has driven his architecture career for over 20 years. Thriving in large, complex, institutional projects with diverse client groups, he is a natural collaborator who balances and integrates his design vision with the contributions of his team members. Since joining us, Diego has co-created various project types. His recent work in healthcare has deeply inspired his direction, due to its unique challenges and the opportunity to make a positive societal impact.

Diego’s healthcare project portfolio includes the Cornwall Community Hospital, Cambridge Hospital, and Halton Healthcare Services. The Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre, in particular, highlights the respect and responsibility he holds for his clients and the community. Driving the design for this project is Diego’s desire to create spaces where people’s dignity remains intact. He wants patients to feel at home while staying connected to nature, and is achieving that with abundant natural light, an all-season exterior garden, and views of the Rocky Mountains and Calgary. The Cancer Centre is a testament to Diego’s quest to improve people’s emotional experiences in hospitals.

Drawing from his background in sports, Diego’s leadership style is team-oriented and aims to get people moving in the same direction. He is a devoted mentor, providing support and guidance so his team members can learn and contribute their unique vision to make every project special. Diego continues to be a guest critic at the Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism at Carleton University and the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design at the University of Toronto.
