“Beautiful design and sustainable design aren’t mutually exclusive. At Solares, we accomplish both.”
Melodie is a Senior Architect with Solares, providing leadership, continuity, and technical oversight across our residential work. Since joining the practice in 2012, she has played a central role in guiding projects from early design through construction, mentoring the design team, and upholding Solares’ long standing commitment to thoughtful, high performance residential architecture.
Early in her career, Melodie worked with architecture firms in Vancouver, Toronto, Kitchener, and New York, gaining experience across a range of design cultures and construction contexts. She was drawn to Solares by the firm’s conviction that sustainability and architectural quality can be mutually reinforcing, and over more than a decade at the firm she has helped shape and advance that approach.
As Senior Architect, Melodie has led numerous Solares projects through all phases of design and construction, bringing strategic oversight, technical rigor, and a deep understanding of the firm’s design values and workflows. Her long tenure gives her a unique perspective on the evolution of the practice and a steady hand on complex projects.
Melodie is a Licensed Architect with the Ontario Association of Architects and holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Waterloo.
