I could have not asked for any more professional assistance throughout our custome home design. Highly recommended. Nice people, caring and they go above and beyond.

We had a wonderful experience working with Hyphen Studio on our new build. Mehdy and Noushin were patient, helpful, and very knowledgeable. They have an excellent sense of design and space which allowed us to get the most out of our square footage. They also helped us easily navigate the difficult city bylaws/codes/committee of adjustments process. 10/10 highly recommend!!!

I had a chance working with Mehdy at Hyphen Studio on several mutual residential and commercial projects. I found him a very creative and knowledgeable architect. He does not just take care of projects as an architect but to see all disciplines together in a united way. I do strongly recommend him.

Our project was a challenging one, given the lot size and the neighborhood. But Noushin and Mehdy has helped us through multiple modifications to address various issues that came up during the COA process, while passionately advocating on our behalf. Highly recommend them.

Great architectural firm with a creative team who listen to the client’s need and make their dream reality. We worked with Mehdy in couple of projects and he is a very friendly and such a professional architect which is easy to work with and lots of happy clients. The designs and drawings are amazing, high quality and non competitive.

Hyphen Studio was recommended to us when we were seeking an Architect to design the rebuild of our home in Etobicoke. We have been working with Noushin and Mehdy since last summer, and have found them to be skilled and knowledgeable. They work collaboratively with us along the way to ensure the design can meet our needs. With the help of Hyphen Studio, we look forward to seeing our dream home become reality. Judy and Faramarz

Amazing architecture company to work with , specially Mehdy himself , he is so dedicated , thoughtful , and truly he cares . During the process of very complicated project we built , he was there at all time to help and navigate us every day . Impossible is not a word in his dictionary. I recommend him and his firm definitely.

Excellent experience w Mehdy. Really appreciate all of his hard work.

Please go with another architect as Hyphen Studios will try to nickle and dime you. They expect you to not ask for changes even after the first drawing. What should be an iterative process is actually a one sided process. They expect you to not provide any feedback or ask for changes, no matter how small. If you do, they will ask for more money. Even during their presentation, it's completely one sided. Save your money and find an architect who is collaborative and actually treats you like a client. Hyphen will constantly go against their word and try to get more money.

We are at the early stages of design and development of a private residence in North York, but so far it has been a great and pleasant experience working with Mehdy at Hyphen Studio. I really appreciate his creativity and experience in design for a particular location. I can also appreciate Hyphen Studio taking on all the necessary administrative details with the city, especially in this COVID-19 difficult time. Having personally been through that process before, I was more than happy to have it done by a professional team. Looking forward to our final drawing and permit and breaking ground. More comments to come!!!

Hyphen Studio helped us out from the site plan approval stage all the way to the fine interior finishes. They put all their skills and passion in every step of the way. They paid attention to our needs and were there when we needed them. We definitely recommend Hyphen Studio.

My initial review was removed without any clear explanation by Google. Here's the repost of the original review and Mehdy's reply. I believe it's still important for the public to learn about my experience and hopefully this can help someone make a better business decision. By the way, their Google rating is obviously suspicious. Four empty 5 star ratings were added right after my initial unfavourable review. They had 34 total reviews over three years and all the sudden gained four or 11% more favourable reviews in one day. Trustworthy or not, you be the judge. Original review: Our experience with Mehdy from Hyphen Studio is an absolute waste of time and complete disappointment. They showed their true colour right after we sent the payment. We asked them to design a custom home for us but they shamelessly put on a plain template without any consideration of our request. Any request to change is fiercely pushed back by Mehdy. They never paid single visit to the job sit. They don't even know which direction the lot is facing. Many more mistakes were made in their drawings, for instance, a laundry room too small for standard laundry equipment. Once we realized they are no longer trustworthy, we fired them from our project. Now they are comically asking for more money for their incompetent and fraudulent operation after wasting so much money and time for us. If you are looking for an architect don't bother with this scam. Mehdy's reply: "Hi, Mehdy, Thanks for the drawings! This is beautiful. A few notes: ..." This is how his email starts! when he received and reviewed the drawings of the beautiful/unique house we custom-designed for him after numerous in-person meetings, zoom meetings and phone calls! and continues with a few questions and minor notes... He wanted an elevator in his wish list and once the design was complete to the details of the elevation, he changed his mind and wanted to completely eliminate the elevator. we responded: "This will dramatically affect the floor plans, especially the second floor’s layout. Since the current design is the result of several back and forth and your step-by-step direction, these late major changes will be subject to extra charges based on our standard hourly rates." ...and that's when he showed his true colour! because he couldn't accept his responsibility for changing his mind and consequently the time and energy we put in his project based on his clear direction and demand... he went missing for couple of months thinking about how to proceed, finally, after several follow-ups, he said he has decided to work with another architect. he expected to simply walk away without paying for the service we've rendered on his project! and once again this is him showing his true colour, not honouring the agreed terms and conditions of our contract for termination and accusing us of "incompetent and fraudulent operation"! It is so disappointing when we see how someone can act unethically and trample others' rights, time and expertise by faking facts.Our belief in professionalism and our customer service is much more than that someone can threaten us to put a bad review just for claiming our right! there is no way to satisfy someone who can't even respect his own word/signature...

From dream to concept they were by our side helping us bring our dream to life. Though every challenge a viable solution was provided, every time!! Thank you Mehdy and Noushin for the continued excellence.!!!

I had the opportunity to work with Hyphen Studio on few projects and am extremely satisfied with the design, creativity, communications with the city on different levels, and availability of the team through out the building process.
