S2 Architecture Celebrates
a Quarter-Century of Success O ver the past 25 years, Calgary’s skyline has transformed. Its size, shape and colour have, at varying times and to varying degrees, morphed to include new homes, office towers, apartment buildings, schools, hotels, churches, hospitals, malls, fire halls, recreation centres, community spaces and other prescribed edifices. Each new building has, in its own way, altered the face of the city. The Calgary of 1993 looks little like the Calgary of today.
Behind much of this change is S2 Architecture. The firm – which has grown from a single-man operation in 1993 to an 88-person full-service architectural and interior design firm with offices in Calgary, Edmonton and recently Vancouver – has designed a multitude of projects in an array of sectors in Alberta and beyond. Throughout all the growth and change, S2 has remained true to its roots. “Our core is design, both architectural and interiors,” says Robert Spaetgens, founding partner and Principal. “We believe in the continuity of design. It’s not just the building, it’s the experience you have in the building. The continuity of a comprehensive experience.”
