Meet GDP Architecture
GDP Architecture (formerly Gronlund Dare Partnership) is a full-service architecture firm specializing in contemporary residential projects in Metro Vancouver.
The firm is actively involved in Vancouver multiplex development, with project work split between prototype designs adapted to the new R1-1 zone and custom commissions tailored to specific lots.
GDP runs two public-facing sites in addition to the main firm site: missingmiddlehousing.ca and multiplexesvancouver.ca — both focused on the multiplex audience.

Why work with GDP
01
Prototype OR custom — your choice
GDP runs a parallel prototype track (pre-tested R1-1 designs) alongside custom commissions. If your lot fits a prototype, you save months of design time; if it doesn’t, you get custom.
02
Domains say focus
Few firms run dedicated multiplex marketing sites. GDP owns missingmiddlehousing.ca and multiplexesvancouver.ca — they're betting their forward book on Bill 44.
