Sarah Obtinalla

Associate

Sarah is an Associate who joined our team in 2017

Sarah plays an important role in the Toronto office’s Design Department, where she contributes to our master planning work and feasibility studies. Her experience to date encompasses a range of institutional projects, commercial high-rises, and residential and mixed-use developments. Through these projects, she has developed comprehensive expertise that covers a wide range of project elements, from parking layouts to tenant fit-outs.

Driven by community and collaboration, Sarah has contributed to several large urban master plans, such as Surrey Centre Block in British Columbia and the Bloor-Kipling and Bloor-Islington Master Plans in Toronto. She is also a Design Manager for our team on the 2 Tecumseth project, which is set to revitalize the site of a decommissioned abattoir in downtown Toronto with new residential, retail, and public space.

Sarah’s drawing skills extend beyond architectural and planning work – she is also a published illustrator. Her digital illustrations are the highlight of Thames & Hudson’s Cabin, an elegant coffee table tome released in 2023.
