OUR HISTORY
Founded by Erik and Sara Rossmann in 2012, Rossmann Architecture has been completing projects for public and private clients for over 10 years and has established a solid reputation for high-quality work in both the Ottawa and Gatineau regions.
Since the beginning, Erik and Sara’s vision for the company has been to contribute to the development of the National Capital Region and provide opportunities to other professionals in the industry. With this in mind, in 2015 they purchased a property on Saint-Joseph Boulevard that would become the company’s first office. The building was selected to be a statement of the firm’s capability as they transformed it from one of the most run-down houses on the street to being a modern and welcoming office. Over the years the firm has continued to expand - taking on more projects in different sectors and hiring more personnel. This led to procuring three surrounding properties and renovating them to be offices that would accommodate the growing team. Over the years the team has received numerous accolades including a REmmy award in 2017, being named one of the Ottawa Business Journal’s “Best Places to Work” in 2022 and being a finalist for the 2023 Excelor Awards “SME of the Year.”

OUR VALUES
Winning as a team
Together we celebrate wins and support each other through struggles. We approach our relationships with our clients and colleagues in the same way, seeking collaborative solutions that allow us to win as a team.
Always growing
We are continuously driven to learn and improve as both individuals and as a company. We embrace challenges as opportunities and are committed to investing in ourselves, our team and our client relationships.
Intentionally transparent
Open communication is vital amongst team members and is crucial with clients. We are dedicated to nurturing transparency through our commitment to consistently act with empathy and integrity.
