Posted @withregram • @storefront_mb This Friday, Posted @withregram • @storefront_mb This Friday, we have Jason Robbins of JC ROBBINS ARCHITECTURE presenting his Personal Bubble!

Jason Robbins is President-Elect of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and a founding board member of Storefront. Jason has spent the entirety of his career advocating for good design and architecture in our built environment.

The son of a structural engineer and grandson of an architect, Jason has found himself immersed in building throughout his life. He has a specific interest in Mid-Century Modern architecture. To him it represents an optimism and excitement for the future with new materials and ways of building.

Jason Robbins is founder and principal of JC ROBBINS ARCHITECTURE. He specializes in unique and challenging projects. Jason is just as happy at his drafting table as he is at his table saw.

This series of On_The_Boards will look at the smaller scale of personal architecture and how we survive and thrive within our own milieu. What are the favourite spots and amenities, what are the renovations and additions that create a functional and inviting sense of home and office, what are the future plans to improve the home to a dream or maybe a machine for 21st-century living. Jaya Beange and Richard Derksen will facilitate these interactive discussions and explorations of personal space with local architects and designers sharing their ideas, plans, and photos.

DM or email us to register for this presentation taking place Friday, May 20 at noon on zoom!
