Sanaz Shirshekar Envisions Saint John As 'Playground For Architects To Experiment' - Huddle Today
Wednesday, March 27, 2019Toronto-born architect to New Brunswick to start a business of her own.
After graduating from architecture school at McGill in 2006, Shirshekar started working for Toronto-based KPMB as a project architect. There, she got to work on projects such as the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, the UBC Alumni Centre, The Globe & Mail's new interior offices and the Fort York Branch Library.
"We were aiming for it to be the 100th public library in Toronto, and it turned out to be the 101st," says Shirshekar, "which is still cool."

Shirshekar recently moved to New Brunswick to be with her husband, Jamie Irving, the vice-president of Brunswick News. At that point, she was ready to start her own practice, Studio Shirshekar.
"I feel all architects at some point, you feel like you've gotten enough experience and you want to give yourself an opportunity to try it out," she says. "Maybe it's not for everyone, but for me, I think it was something that I always felt. I think the experience I got at KPMB and Yabu Pushelberg I felt I had enough to go on my own."
Though the province of New Brunswick is much smaller than cities like Toronto and New York, it didn't take her long to find projects that interested her. The first being a new a...
