The practice was created in Los Angeles, California and moved to Toronto, bringing with it an unmarked outlook to the progression of design in Canada. Jodi and Andrew have designed, directed and managed over 96 internationally celebrated projects in 38 cities and 11 countries, both on their own and at Pritzker Prize-winning offices before founding Batay-Csorba Architects. Their own work has been distinguished with international awards, widely published in over 60 international publications and exhibited across 19 international galleries. Batay-Csorba Architects strives to create projects which engage their context, users, and the public realm. The practice is committed to creating transformative spatial experiences through the exploration of site, typology, materiality, and movement. Batay-Csorba's work is dedicated to the construction of real spaces that engage people and place, and is based on the belief that architecture has a fundamental role in shaping how we experience the world. Each project is generated through a deep reading of the site in search of unexpected relationships that can both tie each project to a larger urban contribution and shape new perceptual experiences. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Home Remodeling - Architectural Drawings - Custom Homes - New Home Construction - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Sustainable Design - Energy-Efficient Homes - Green Building - Multigenerational Homes - Project Management ### Areas Served - Collingwood - Muskoka - Ottawa - Toronto ### Typical Job Cost CAD $500,000 - ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Batay-Csorba Architects | | Address | 264 Jane Street, Toronto, Ontario M6S 3Z2, Canada | | Phone | (416) 524-2003 | | Website | http://www.batay-csorba.com | | Followers on Houzz | 23 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/bataycsorbaarchitects - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/BatayCsorbaArch - Blog — www.batay-csorba.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Batay-Csorba Architects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/batay-csorba-architects-pfvwus-pf~883443265) - **Website:** http://www.batay-csorba.com - **Phone:** (416) 524-2003 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - 2017 RAIC Young Architect Award, 2016 Canadian Architecture Award of Merit for \[Misfit\]Fit, 2015 Canadian Architecture Award of Merit for Double Duplex, 2015 Twenty and Change Next Generation Award, 2014 OAA Concept Award, 2012 Venice Biennale Migrating Landscapes Exhibition - **Best of Houzz:** 1 award (2018), for Service. **Affiliations** - [NCARB](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/ncarb-pfvwus-pf~1477640315) - [Royal Architecture Institute of Canada (RAIC)](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/royal-architecture-institute-of-canada-raic-pfvwus-pf~1796754626) - [LEED AP](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/professionals/schools-and-organizations/leed-ap-pfvwus-pf~1386238498) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 4 reviews** ### All 4 reviews **★★★★★ — Chad Wilson, Sept. 2017** > It's my great pleasure to recommend Batay-Csorba Architects with the highest accolades possible. > Over two years ago, I embarked on a journey to transform our 105 year old stone home from it's state of disrepair to a modern version of it's original glory. After interviewing 4 other architects, I was disheartened. No one seemed to meet my criteria for the right architecture partner on this challenging project: talented, visionary, engaged, dedicated and detail-orientated. Then I found Andrew and Jodi. > Andrew and Jodi work together as a team - and they are a dream team! They listened carefully to the brief that I provided them and came back with artistic - yet practical - ideas. They pivoted on a dime when our plans radically changed. They met every single one of my criteria and have helped me make this dream a reality. I chose to function as my own GC and they didn't blink an eye - but rather totally stepped up to the plate and became my construction "doulas" - showing me the ropes of reading plans, dealing with on site issues...truly going above and beyond. > They have been responsive, brilliant, detail -orientated, professional, and quite frankly, a joy to work with. > Whether you are building a new home, renovating, flipping or designing your dream....Batay-Csorba architects will help you make your vision a reality, doing so with style, grace and dedication. Include them in your bid process and see for yourself - there is no other architecture firm in Toronto who can compare. **★★★★★ — mottsica, Sept. 2017** > It's my great pleasure to recommend Batay-Csorba Architects with the highest accolades possible. > Over two years ago, I embarked on a journey to transform our 105 year old stone home from it's state of disrepair to a modern version of it's original glory.

Their vigour, and unrelenting aesthetic curiosity push projects to be profound. We've worked with a plethora of firms, and were grateful for Batay-Csorba to take our work. ## Selected projects - [CORE Modern Homes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/core-modern-homes-pj-vj~2651151) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 10 - Description: Core Modern Homes is a 16,000sf 7 unit townhouse development which explores the potential of spatially oriented apertures that work to induce movement and visual interest within an efficient volume which maximizes programmatic potential.
