Brigitte Shim and Howard Sutcliffe have collaborated since 1983. Their work has included projects in the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture and furniture design. Their earliest built works-an architectural garden in Don Mills (1988-89), a house on a remote lakefront property in Haliburton, Ontario (1989-1991), and the architects' own residence in Toronto (1991-1994)-were all honoured with awards from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. The 2 residential projects also won awards from the Canada Wood Council.
In 1994, Brigitte Shim and Howard Sutcliffe established the firm Shim-Sutcliffe architects. In 1996, they designed a combined residence and workspace in Toronto with a construction budget of $100,000. The project won awards from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, the American and Canadian wood councils and the journal Architectural record.
Between 1996 and 2000 the architectural office of Shim-Sutcliffe designed 3 highly acclaimed projects in Ontario: Ledbury Park in Toronto, a boathouse on Lake Muskoka, and the dining hall for Moorelands Camp at Lake Kawagama.
Since 2000, the firm has designed residential, institutional and religious architecture, including a library and chapel at Massey College, the Corkin Gallery, the Frum Collection of African Art at the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Bet Ha'am Synagogue in Portland, Maine. The Integral House in Toronto, a project combining a private residence and performance space, was completed in 2009.
Furniture designed by the firm has won awards and represented Canadian design in international exhibitions.
