Cranbrook Studio
Our Cranbrook studio was founded in 2019 with a team made up of an intern architect, a senior technologist/project manager, and two senior architects/partners. Working in rotation, we function as one big, experienced team with all members working on projects in our three locations. By taking the time to become fully immersed in our projects, we’re able to carefully tailor solutions for each client’s needs.
Current project types run the gamut from educational, religious, commercial, industrial, recreational, hospitality, and residential design. We serve a large region in British Columbia from our Cranbrook architectural firm, encompassing the East Kootenays and beyond.

Noémie Llaurency
Intern Architect, AIBC, MRAIC
AIBC, MRAIC Bachelor of Architecture Degree, Master of Architecture Degree
Working out of our Cranbrook office, Noémie is an Intern Architect who joined our team in September of 2021. She received her Bachelor of Architecture degree in her native France and her Master’s degree from Laval University in Quebec. As a new graduate, she is learning from the other architects and team members about the steps of a project, the roles of everyone on the team, and what an architect does in the professional world.
Day to day tasks include working drawing production using Revit, schematic design, design development and product research, learning to interpret the building code and land-use bylaws, and participation in all team BIM training and standards development. Noémie works closely with the Cranbrook team, assisting wherever and whenever she is needed.
Noémie enjoys the multi-cultural nature of the team at Berry. Our team members come from many different countries and cultural backgrounds, but we all work together with the common goal to create great architecture. Her personal goals are to become a Registered Architect with the Architectural Institute of British Columbia and also to pursue a LEED Green Associate designation.
Noémie practices yoga and mindfulness meditation daily. She loves horseback riding and rides as often as she can. Other pastimes are photography, walking in the mountains, and spending time with family and friends.
