Jenkins Architecture Ltd. specializes in quality residential, mixed use and commercial architecture and the design and physical planning of new towns, villages and resort villages, using "New Urbanism" town planning principles.
Designing projects of this size and complexity requires a direct link between the architecture, urban design and town planning disciplines, which our firm offers.
The scope of our past work is varied and extensive. We have been involved in many award-winning projects including single and multi family housing, commercial buildings, international resort development and large scale subdivision planning.

With over 30 years of experience as an architect in Calgary, Dan has established a reputation for design excellence, and an approach to design that combines the principles of architecture, urban design, and town planning. He and his firm have won numerous provincial national and international awards for their work in each of these fields.
Dan has been responsible for the design of a wide range of projects, including international hotel and resort developments, large scale community planning projects, commercial buildings, mixed-use buildings, custom homes, and multi-family housing.
He has also been an advocate for excellence in architecture, not only through his work, but also as a public speaker, conference presenter, and university assistant professor, as well as through the publication of Best Home Magazine, which he started to increase public awareness of the value of architects, and architecture in residential design.
In 1970, he spent four months living in Venice as part of a travel-abroad program sponsored by the University of British Columbia School of Architecture, from which he graduated in 1971. After moving to Calgary in 1979, he worked initially with Boucock Architects, founded his own firm in 1981, and then practiced in partnership from 1987 through 1993 under the firm name Jenkins & Sturgess Architecture. He later re-established his own practice as Jenkins Architecture Ltd. Jenkins cites living in Venice as one of the most significant influences upon his work. As a young man he set a goal to create more humanly scaled neighborhoods and communities in North America – thus his involvement in the design of several award winning communities such as Angus Glen Village in Markham, Garrison Woods in Calgary, the Griesbach community in Edmonton, a Caribbean community on the island of Roatan and the East village master plan in Calgary, a high density community adjacent to Calgary’s downtown currently under construction.
