Architecture and advisory for complex projects that demand clarity before commitment.
CH-A is a boutique architecture and advisory studio led by Christopher Hoyt, architect, focused on early planning, feasibility, and decision-making for projects with high complexity, multiple stakeholders, and long-term risk.
Our Services
1
Strategic Planning
Early-stage framing of architectural and infrastructure projects to clarify scope, risk, and decision pathways before design begins.
2
Advisory & Governance
Independent architectural judgment to support owners, institutions, and project teams navigating complex stakeholder and delivery environments.
3
Architecture
Selective architectural work where design excellence and strategic clarity are inseparable.
Why CH-A
Complex projects fail early — long before construction — when decisions are made without enough clarity, alignment, or judgment.
​
CH-A works at the front end of projects, where the cost of ambiguity is highest and the opportunity for long-term value is greatest.
​
CH-A draws on experience across provincial, municipal, and international contexts, including large-scale infrastructure and institutional projects, to help clients make durable decisions under real-world constraints.
