Award for Outstanding Small Business Philanthropist, 2023
Hobin Architecture
Established in 1979, Barry J. Hobin & Associates Architects Inc. set out to craft a brand identity based upon client satisfaction and design excellence. Today, Hobin Architecture has evolved from a founding principal, Barry J. Hobin, into a team of more than 45 talented professionals. The firm believes in integrating professional and personal values.
Hobin Architecture is committed to creating buildings and places that strengthen neighbourhoods, enhance daily lives and make the city beautiful and connected. Since 1979, it has merged a passion for design with a sense of responsibility to the wider community — to create a design team that innovates; client relationships that endure; buildings that inspire; and environments that nurture creativity, health, spirituality and commerce.
The Hobin Architecture team has a long history of investing in the community — both from design and philanthropic perspectives. They consider themselves lucky to live and work in such a dynamic city and to take advantage of the opportunities that allow them to give back, while advocating for others to do the same. Their giving is structural and intentional.
Organizations that the firm has supported include the Ottawa Food Bank, Ottawa Mission, CHEO, and Greater Ottawa Habitat for Humanity.
