The firm
Over 20 years of designing Toronto homes. Led by Rocco Schipano, BCIN-registered designer.
Architalcan Design Inc. is an architectural design firm in Etobicoke, led by Rocco Schipano. It is registered under BCIN 25897 – 41741 in the classes House, Small Buildings, Large Buildings and HVAC-House (heating and cooling design for houses), and insured. For over 20 years the office has designed Toronto projects and taken them from survey to issued permit.
Three rules the office runs on.
Coordinate before you submit
Drawing the architectural, structural and HVAC sheets in one office means the beam in the plan is the beam in the section. Fewer examiner comments to answer.
Read the lot before you draw
Reading the survey against the by-law first shows setbacks, fire access and trees before any design money is spent.
A quote before the drawings
You get a quote for the drawings after the lot is read, before design starts.

“Rocco was efficient and effective. He worked closely with us to ensure the design meets our needs and recommended valuable solutions that we previously weren't aware of. We got the permit within a reasonable amount of time despite submitting it just before the holidays.”
“We have done 3 renovation projects with Architalcan Design and are more than happy with all of them. The team does a great job in a timely manner, professionally and on budget.”
