Merger of interior design and health care architects a win-win

Daily Commercial News

Kasian Architecture Interior Design and Planning Ltd. is poised to become an active player in the design and delivery of health care facilities in Ontario following its recent acquisition of the 18-person firm of Health Strategy Architects Ltd. (HSA). The move marks a key step in Kasian’s entry into the eastern Canadian market. "Having HSA join our firm is a very important move for us," says Kasian president Don Kasian, who founded his namesake architecture and design firm in 1986. The company’s first office was in Edmonton. "It marks a major milestone in our plan to grow our firm globally. This also provides us the opportunity to offer our range of services to the Ontario market." Toronto-based HSA provides a full range of architectural services to the health care sector in the province. The firm has particular expertise in complex-care and rehabilitation facilities for longer-stay patients with multiple health care needs.
