B+H Strengthens Residential and Corporate Workplace Leadership

November 1, 2023

At B+H, we recognize the importance of having the right leaders in place to guide us confidently into the future. We’re welcoming four new Toronto Studio Principals, two of which have already played an important role in our ongoing success, along with two new faces.

With these additions and promotions, we’re positioning ourselves to remain at the forefront of our key sectors. We’re committed to setting higher standards of excellence and opening doors to new and exciting opportunities. Our new Principals will also contribute to a culture of collaboration, innovation, and design excellence to empower talent and inspire our teams.

Residential and Mixed-Use Sector Principals

To continue developing our residential portfolio, we’re welcoming Jeff Cogliati onboard and celebrating the promotions of Stephanie Maignan and Macquinn Victoria as new Principals.

He’s passionate about harnessing technology to explore design opportunities, an advocate for sustainable design approaches, and committed to ensuring design excellence and top-tier quality during construction. Jeff’s experience with working on all aspects of a project from concept to construction, along with his focus on design excellence and business development, will allow us to grow and strengthen our residential profile and portfolio.

Over her 20 years of practice, Stephanie has been involved in a diverse range of projects across North America and Asia, including prominent mixed-use and residential communities across Canada. Within her last six years with B+H, she has demonstrated the ability to guide our design teams through conceptual design, through to execution and has led many of our large pursuits and projects. Her constant passion for design excellence, exploring new ideas, and attention to detail will be intrinsic to our success as she continues to lead teams to deliver high-quality design solutions.
