At McOuat Butterworth Architects, we bring a uniquely integrated approach to place-making, where architecture, urban planning, design strategy, and market insight converge to create vibrant, resilient destinations.

With experience in over 3,000 communities across North America, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia, we deliver a multidisciplinary approach that expands our perspective beyond the usual. By bringing together the deep architectural expertise of David Butterworth with the insight of McOuat Partnership’s 50-year history of development placemaking, backed by the proven talent of our experienced team of consultants, we deliver a unique level of service.

Our capabilities blend envisioning, positioning, research, planning, architectural design, environmental stewardship, economic foresight, marketing and even sales into one integrated results-oriented whole.

Our expertise extends from early-stage visioning and policy integration through to de­tailed design frameworks and implementation phasing.

Our approach prioritizes community-led visioning, contextual design, and long-term economic and environmental sustainability—ensuring that every waterfront transformation becomes a catalyst for regional vitality and identity.

Our results-focused process aligns diverse and often complicated stakeholder goals—from municipal authorities and Indigenous communities to private developers and tourism agencies—into cohesive, actionable master plans.
