Vancouver-based HCMA Architecture + Design has announced the addition of Marni Robinson as director of community and stakeholder engagement and the promotion of Adam Fawkes to managing associate (Victoria), Darin Harding to associate and Ian McLean to special projects manager.

Robinson brings expertise in engagement, strategy, and communications to encourage informed and inclusive public participation. She is a champion for the creation of healthy, sustainable communities and has the ability to distill the diverse interests of many into a clear and viable design direction for your project

Fawkes has been an integral member of the Victoria studio for over a decade. He offers clients in-depth expertise in recreation, sports and aquatic architecture as well as sustainable design. As the firm’s presence on Vancouver Island continues to grow, he will work closely with Carl-Jan Rupp, principal, to expand the team.

Motivated by discovering new ideas and bringing them to life, Harding brings a decade of experience leading teams on public space design, transportation, and recreation projects. He is currently the project architect for North Vancouver’s Harry Jerome Recreation and Community Centre.

As special projects manager, McLean will lead small and unique projects that demand a more nimble, flexible and responsive design approach. These projects align and reinforce our community mission in an exceptional way

Based in Vancouver and Victoria B.C., HCMA Architecture + Design challenges the traditional boundaries of architectural practice by asking: ‘What’s Possible?’ Services include architectural design, interior design, wayfinding + signage, master planning + urban design, project + construction contract management.
