Hello, and welcome to SOZA Architecture. SOZA was founded to unleash my creative vision and pursue projects that deeply resonate with my values and aspirations. My mission is clear: to cultivate a practice dedicated to crafting innovative and contemporary designs for discerning clients. Each project we undertake is unique, and we assemble a team of exceptional professionals to strive to exceed our clients' goals, providing them with exceptional service every step of the way. Once I discovered architecture, I have been laser-focused on making it my career. I studied and earned my Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Toronto and interned at firms as time allowed. My next goal was in Boston, MA, where I was determined to continue my studies at Harvard University. I completed my Master of Architecture at the Graduate School of Design, marking a pivotal moment in my journey.

My time at larger firms gave me invaluable insights into a variety of projects in higher education, performance arts, residential, and civic sectors. However, I longed for the independence to oversee projects from start to finish, build meaningful relationships with clients and other design professionals, and develop a unique design philosophy focused on luxury residential architecture.

SOZA has made steady progress since engagement with its first clients and projects in 2022. We listen to our clients, ask questions, collect data, synthesize, and review information with clients and team throughout the project. Our team of professionals and consultants are passionate about architecture and design. We push each other internally to deliver optimized responses to our client’s program challenges meant to provide spaces to enrich end users and inhabitants.

Thank you,

Sophia Panova, Founder.
