    Issued For Construction ID: Will Sorrell - Interior Design Show

    Will is the National Director of IDS (Interior Design Show), Canada's leading design show, spanning editions in Toronto and Vancouver. Born and raised in North London, Will grew up immersed in the design world. His parents founded a corporate identity studio that grew from a handful of people to roughly 250 employees, working with clients like British Airways and Royal Mail, with offices in London, Amsterdam, and New York. Will studied at NYU, spending a foundational year in Florence before completing an interdisciplinary degree focused on diasporic studies and intercultural relationships. While at NYU, he worked in the university's scene shop building sets and props for theatre productions, an experience he credits as the real starting point of his events career. After graduating, Will returned to the UK and joined the British Council, where he spent years as a project manager touring UK design and architecture exhibitions internationally, including two years managing the British Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale. He went on to work with his parents' charitable foundation on youth design centers, a placemaking consultancy, and then Tom Dixon, where he built and ran a large multi brand design show in Milan from scratch. He later became deputy director, then director, of Design Junction in London, a furniture and lighting show known for taking over unconventional industrial venues. Will moved to Canada in January 2020 after marrying a Canadian from Victoria, BC, and deciding to relocate following Brexit. He joined IDS about four years ago, taking on the show shortly after the pandemic and leading a rebrand and repositioning, shifting its focus toward the trade and design industry audience, introducing features like a scaffolding based lighting section to lower barriers to entry for smaller manufacturers, and planning a significantly expanded 2027 edition centered on residential design. Outside of work, Will lives in Victoria, BC, where he paddleboards, walks the beach, and spends time with his wife and children, while splitting his working time between Toronto and Vancouver for the shows. He is a lifelong Arsenal supporter, with family ties to the club going back roughly a century.

    Issued For Construction AD: Sean Lawrence - Kohn Partnership Architects (KPA)

    Sean Lawrence is a founding partner of Kohn Partnership Architects (KPA), a Toronto-based practice he established in 2002 alongside, the now retired, Harry Kohn. Born and raised in Toronto, Sean traces his interest in architecture to childhood, when his family commissioned a country home from a Toronto architect and he watched an idea move from sketch to built reality. He began his architectural studies at Carleton University before transferring to the Architectural Association (AA) in London, one of the world's most influential schools of architecture, where he studied during a period that included figures such as Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, and Will Alsop. Sean spent his early career in England, working with the firm then known as Farrell Grimshaw and later with Jestico and Wiles, where he contributed to award-winning industrial and commercial projects, including a Financial Times award for industrial architecture. He returned to Toronto in the mid-1980s and worked with Moffat Kinoshita Architects and Young and Wright Architects, where he played a central role in designing the hotel, restaurants, food service facilities, and private clubs for what is now the Rogers Centre, working alongside the broader SkyDome project team. Following the early 1990s recession, Sean continued in private practice in Toronto before co-founding Kohn Partnership Architects with Harry Kohn in 2002. Under their leadership, the firm grew into a practice recognized for its expertise across low-rise, mid-rise, and high-rise residential development alongside commercial and mixed-use work, serving developer clients including Dream, Minto, and Madison. Andrew Muffitt later joined as a third partner. Today Kohn Partnership Architects employs between twenty-five and forty people and remains known for direct partner involvement on every project it takes on.

    Issued For Construction ID: Tim Ng - ADHOC STUDIO & BLACKLINE

    Tim Ng is the founder and CEO of AdHoc Studio, one of the top rendering and visualization companies in North America, and the founder of Blackline, a leading sales and marketing CRM platform built for the new development and pre-construction industry. Born and raised in Toronto's North York neighbourhood, Tim grew up immersed in real estate. His father was among the first pre-construction condominium brokers in Toronto, drawing on real estate practices from Hong Kong, while his mother spent more than thirty years working for one of the city's top developers. That early exposure, along with an entrepreneurial streak that had him building and managing client websites before he was a teenager, shaped the direction of his career. Tim studied business at Ryerson University's Ted Rogers School of Management, working internships and co-ops in finance throughout his degree. Rather than accepting a corporate job offer after graduation, he launched AdHoc Studio in September 2008, in the middle of the global financial crisis, building the business through cold calling and a first contract with Dunpar Homes. AdHoc grew into a studio known for photorealistic renderings, animations, and interactive sales tools, staffed by a team with backgrounds in architecture and interior design. The company expanded from Toronto into Western Canada and, more recently, into the United States, with a focus on the South Florida and New York markets. In 2019, Tim launched Blackline, transitioning part of the business from a service model into a software product that helps developers and sales teams manage the entire pre-construction sales pipeline, from marketing and broker engagement through contracts and closings. AdHoc and Blackline now employ a team of around forty people out of their Toronto headquarters. Tim continues to lead both companies with a focus on staying ahead of industry technology, including how artificial intelligence is reshaping design and sales workflows. ⁠⁠ADHOC STUDIO⁠ & ⁠BLACKLINE Upcoming Episode: Kohn Partnership Architects Sponsors: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caplan's Appliances⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Doors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To connect with our sponsors, email me: jonathan@issuedforconstruction.ca ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Issued For Construction⁠⁠⁠⁠

    Issued For Construction AD - NYC Series: Elaine Molinar - Snøhetta

    Elaine Molinar is a Partner and Managing Director for the Americas at Snøhetta, the international architecture, landscape, and design practice. Born in El Paso, Texas, she grew up in a household shaped by craft and problem solving. Her father, a pharmacist, was also a self taught woodworker and photographer, and her grandfather had worked in a railroad steel yard, building his own tools. Her mother taught her to sew, embroider, and draw from an early age. Elaine trained seriously in ballet starting at age twelve and received a Ford Foundation Scholarship to attend the San Francisco Ballet School for two summers. She began her studies at Texas Christian University, where a history of interiors course, an engineering drawing class taught by an architect, and countless weekends spent at Louis Kahn's Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth led her toward architecture. She transferred to the University of Texas at Austin to complete its five year professional architecture program, and during her studies she completed a professional residency in Los Angeles at the office of architect Barton Myers. After graduating, Elaine worked briefly at the Los Angeles firm DeBretteville and Polyzoides. In 1989, she joined a team of friends and colleagues who won the international design competition to reimagine the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the ancient library of Alexandria, Egypt. That win led her to relocate to Oslo, Norway, joining the newly formed practice Snøhetta, named for a mountain in central Norway. She spent sixteen years there as the firm grew through design competitions, including the Lillehammer Art Museum built for the 1994 Winter Olympics. In 2004, Elaine helped establish Snøhetta's New York studio, the firm's second office, to lead its work on the National September 11 Memorial pavilion at the World Trade Center site. Under her leadership, the studio grew from a handful of people to a firm with seven offices worldwide and approximately 250 employees. Her recent work includes the shade canopy and courtyard redesign at the University of Texas at Austin's Blanton Museum of Art and the STEAM discovery center in her hometown of El Paso. Elaine is a licensed architect and a member of the American Institute of Architects.

    Issued For Construction ID: Colette Van Den Thillart Interior Design

    Colette van den Thillart is an interior designer born in Orangeville, Ontario, who grew up in Mississauga. She traces her passion for design to childhood, including a bedroom she designed herself at six or seven, with grass green shag carpet, daisy wallpaper, and yellow curtains, later recreated and shared on Instagram. She began her career after a two year diploma at the International Academy in Toronto, working first for a small residential firm before joining Toronto designer Brian Gluckstein, spending roughly a decade helping grow the studio from a handful of people to eighteen. A move to London with her husband and young children led Colette to complete a Master's degree in decorative arts through a program based at the Wallace Collection, studying English country houses and French estates. She then spent twelve years as Creative Director for British designer Nicky Haslam at NH Design, working on projects from a grade two star listed historic restoration to residences in Istanbul and Marrakesh. About a decade ago, Colette returned to Toronto and founded her own eponymous studio, now a team of seven handling residential projects worldwide alongside commissions such as the interiors of one of the country's oldest private members clubs. Her practice is guided by a belief in atmosphere over trend and transparent trade pricing. Her work has earned ARIDO Residential and Loft Conversion Gold Awards, House & Home's Designer of the Year, and the Designer Society of America's Design 360 Award. She is currently producing a documentary about Elsie de Wolfe, founder of the interior design profession, built around a scrapbook collection acquired at auction in Los Angeles. ⁠⁠Colette Van Den Thillart Interior Design⁠⁠ Upcoming Episode: Snøhetta Sponsors: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caplan's Appliances⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Doors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To connect with our sponsors, email me: jonathan@issuedforconstruction.ca ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Issued For Construction⁠⁠⁠⁠

    Issued For Construction AD - NYC Series: Daniel Baumann & Vanessa Kassabian - Henning Larsen

    Daniel Baumann and Vanessa Kassabian are the two leaders running Henning Larsen's New York studio, and their combined story runs from childhood living rooms all the way to construction sites around the world. Vanessa grew up in a matriarchal household in San Antonio and Houston, patching drywall and hanging blinds long before she ever set foot in a drafting class. That class, in middle school, was the first of many steps that carried her through Tulane's five year architecture program and into an early career shaped by a tough economy, a decade at a Norwegian design firm, and a deliberate pause to raise her son. She landed at Henning Larsen in 2025, in a role she describes as a full circle moment. Daniel's path started an ocean away, in a small town in South Germany and then Copenhagen, where he grew up an introverted kid who loved books and drawing and, by his own admission, hated sports. He found his footing on a Danish tall ship during his military service, then later at the Royal Academy, through a bruising master's program at London's Bartlett, and through a grinding stint at Foster and Partners before he joined Henning Larsen. He eventually helped open the New York office in 2018, and he speaks openly about a burnout he went through and how it reshaped the way he leads today. Daniel and Vanessa speak candidly about the parts of architecture school that never get taught, things like management, finances, and resilience. They talk about the mentors and the difficult bosses who shaped them, and what it actually takes to build a studio culture where an idea can travel around a room until it clicks. They also dig into Henning Larsen's foundation owned structure, its in house PhD research program, and hands on experiments like a UPenn cooling shelter collaboration and a straw based building facade. From there they turn to the projects defining their growth across the US and Canada, from Mission Rock in San Francisco to Raleigh City Hall, Harvard's Enterprise Research Campus, and a new civic center taking shape in Etobicoke, Toronto. This is a conversation about resilience, mentorship, and building places worth showing up for, on the job site and off it. ⁠Henning Larsen Upcoming Episode ⁠Colette Van Den Thillart Interior Design Sponsors: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caplan's Appliances⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Doors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To connect with our sponsors, email me: jonathan@issuedforconstruction.ca ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Issued For Construction⁠⁠⁠⁠

    Issued For Construction ID: Darcy Hanna & Emma Sims - &Daughters

    Emma and Darcy are the founding principals of & Daughters, a Vancouver based architecture and interior design studio established nearly a decade ago. The two met during their first week in the Master of Architecture program at the University of British Columbia's School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, where a shared preference for desks near natural light placed them side by side in studio. They developed a close friendship throughout school, collaborating on design build projects and studio work before launching their own practice together in their late twenties. Emma began her design career at Vancouver based St. Marie, where she served as project lead on the Botanist restaurant at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel. Darcy spent roughly six years at the boutique residential firm Scott Posno Design, taking on responsibilities spanning consultant coordination, municipal approvals, and client relations. Their earliest independent commissions included a condominium renovation in Vancouver's West End and a barn on a family property east of Oshawa, Ontario. The studio gained wider recognition for its design of a sushi focused cocktail bar above Namos restaurant on Fraser Street in Vancouver, developed for the restaurant's owners. Working with a limited budget inside an unremarkable existing space, Emma and Darcy built their design strategy around lighting, using warm amber toned illumination to create an immersive, sunset like atmosphere throughout the room. Photography of the completed project drew significant attention and helped establish the studio's reputation in hospitality design. & Daughters now works across residential and commercial hospitality projects, with a growing focus on refined interiors for restaurants, bars, and homes. Emma and Darcy have expressed interest in eventually taking on a boutique hotel project. &Daughters⁠ Upcoming Episode: Henning Larsen Sponsors: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caplan's Appliances⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Doors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To connect with our sponsors, email me: jonathan@issuedforconstruction.ca ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Issued For Construction⁠⁠⁠

    Issued For Construction AD - NYC Series: Tom Gluck - Gluck+

    Thomas Gluck was born in New York City and grew up immersed in architecture. His father, Peter Gluck, graduated from Yale in 1962 and founded the practice now known as GLUCK+ in 1972. As a child, Tom watched his father build models out of basswood and cardboard. His mother taught modern Japanese history at Columbia University, and the family lived in Tokyo for periods during his childhood. At sixteen, through a connection his father had made, Tom apprenticed for a summer under a master Miyadaiku, a traditional Japanese tea house builder recognized as a living national treasure, gaining an early appreciation for craft and natural materials. Tom began college studying biochemistry, then chemistry, then biology, before leaving the sciences. A dislocated shoulder redirected him toward theater, where he designed and built sets for productions at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge. He also spent two summers building a guest house with his father in the Catskills before applying to architecture school. He earned his Master of Architecture from Yale University, then worked at Calis Shortridge Architects in Los Angeles before joining Herzog and de Meuron in Basel, Switzerland, on the Walker Art Center expansion in Minneapolis from early design through construction and opening. In 2005, Tom returned to New York and joined GLUCK+, overseeing design and construction on projects including the East Harlem School, a rental building in Philadelphia, the Cary Leeds Center for Tennis and Learning, City Squash, and a charter school in Washington Heights. The firm practices Architect Led Design Build, with architects who both design and manage construction of their projects.
