Sudhir brings decades of experience across scales and disciplines, paired with an uncommon ability to read complexity — technical, social, ecological, and political — and translate it into clarity. His work is grounded in public architecture and city-making, spanning major civic projects across Montréal, Québec and Ontario, including libraries, cultural and community facilities, housing, and large-scale urban initiatives. He is recognized for competition-winning proposals that combine conceptual intelligence with rigorous building science, performance, and constructability. His work has been repeatedly selected through competitive public design processes, demonstrating a consistent ability to bring clarity and ambition to complex civic projects across diverse juries and institutional contexts.
For Sudhir, design is not an act of style but a continuous act of alignment. His work brings people, systems, ideas, constraints, and possibilities into resonance so that something larger, more coherent, and more durable can emerge. He believes that in daily practice we often aim too low, brushing only the edge of what collective effort can achieve. His projects consistently push that threshold higher — toward places that are meaningful, intuitive, and shared.
A long-time innovator in collaborative process, Sudhir prioritizes listening over speaking. He works from the conviction that cities are living ecologies, shaped as much by empathy, social relationships and governance as by form and technology. His projects integrate social context, environmental performance, envelope strategy, sustainable systems, and urban thinking into a single, legible whole. Transforming complexity into beauty, resilience, and civic value is, for him, a professional obligation.
We are living through an unprecedented acceleration of urbanization, unfolding within planetary systems under strain. These conditions have redefined the mandate of architecture and urbanism. For Sudhir, the task is no longer simply to design buildings, but to help develop transferable models of regenerative, ambitious urban life — cities shaped deliberately, rather than by default.
Alongside his built work, Sudhir contributes to this broader civic project through teaching. He has taught architecture and urbanism at the University of Waterloo, McGill, UQAM, and the Université de Montréal, and continues to do so, because shaping the next generation of designers is inseparable from shaping the cities they will inherit.

Passionate about social interactions and the place of humans in our society, Jennifer has specialized in sustainable development and universal accessibility since early schooling.
Jennifer is convinced that architecture must be designed first and foremost FOR and WITH all citizens, particularly through the Integrated Design Process.
She is very attached to the development of projects in urban environments, and has completed numerous collective and social housing projects, and won several competitions between France and Quebec for projects proposing collaboration and community spaces, such as: the Vallin-Fier eco-district (France), C40-Reinventig Cities Montreal, the Vaudreuil-Dorion municipal centre, and the Lab-École in Rimouski.
As the newest partner at L’OEUF, she takes advantage of her numerous collaborations with municipalities, entrepreneurs, designers and engineers to include in the practice of her global vision of all issues related to architecture.

Co-founder of L’OEUF, Daniel has developed a marked expertise in sustainable development recognized across Canada and internationally, also marked in 2019 by the CaGBC’s Lifetime Achievement Award. This valuable expertise, fuelled by his research at the Université de Montréal and his transatlantic network of contacts, makes him a highly sought-after architect, consultant and speaker.
Specialized in public and urban architecture, Daniel puts his know-how at the service of communities with an approach based on a balance between technical reliability, economic feasibility and innovation. At the heart of his approach, the architectural quality of the project always meets that of the public spaces created around it.
He is one of the Canadian pioneers of regenerative architecture, a subject he also teaches at the university. Convinced of the importance of professional-citizen collaboration to co-design our collective future, each project he works on is an opportunity to reaffirm the identity of the place, its connection to its community and its inclusion in an urban ecosystem.
Daniel has participated in and led co-design charrettes for projects involving communities of over 10,000 people. He advocates the integrated design process to define the needs and objectives of each project.
He has recently applied his expertise to two significant projects: Place Griffintown, a multi-unit housing project chosen by the SHQ as a demonstration project and a study for the City of Montreal on “Resilience and a new Accès-Logis standard” for 2021 and 2022.
