About The ArchitectAward-winning architect Phillip Carter does not follow current architectural trends, but rather individually tailors them to meet the ambitions of his clients and communities. He also attempts to find an architectural style which responds to the context and surroundings of the building while emanating the requirements of each specific project.
The former University of Toronto professor carries with him a vast portfolio of his workmanship which includes the resoration of Port Hope's 1912 Carnegie Library which was severely altered by a 1970s addition that destroyed its once fine character. He also renovated the historically designated Capitol Theatre, transforming the original movie theatre into a multipurpose community theatre facility and he also played a lead role in designing the Toronto Public Library, the head offices for McClelland and Stewart Publishers, and the home of Port Hope residents Claire and Farley Mowat.
A member of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, Phillip has also taught architecture at the University of Waterloo, Ryerson Polytechnical Institute and Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD).
