Studio
We share a deep commitment to responsive, meaningful and human-centered design interspersed with elements of playfulness.
Forget the way
we did it before.
Here at Flat Architecture, we gather everyone around the same table in a relaxed, engaging and respectful manner – where ideas are shared in a fresh, collective thinking kind of way; one that solves every problem with ingenuity and teamwork.
This is how our firm works, you might call it the Flat Architecture way — bringing value and collaboration to every project we undertake; while having a little fun along the way!
To me, Architecture is an extension of Nature with complexities of Modern technologies and evolvement of Human comfort standards. It’s a solution-based approach to improve the relationship between people and buildings. A well-planned space unites aesthetics, function and form in its expression and in its performance.
RAJINDER WARRAICH
The values and beliefs
that guide our firm.
The naming of the firm was very deliberate. FLAT represents Form, Line and Technical; all crucial elements in architecture. Another important component is playfulness: Rajinder believes that playfulness in architecture brings about more active and dynamic spaces; ones that encourages our creativity within those spaces.

Raj Singh and his team are collaborators in the truest sense. Raj’s attitude is always very pleasant and positive. More importantly, he is very responsive, and when issues arise, Raj is able to think outside the box. Over the last two years, we’ve worked nearly exclusively with Flat Architecture on multi-family projects such as condos, apartments and townhomes, throughout Surrey, Langley and Maple Ridge. I highly recommend Raj and his team … they are extremely professional and easy to work with.
Raj takes my ideas and brings them to life. He does that by collaborating with me to execute my vision. We have worked well together for more than three years, and it’s become a personal relationship that is seamless. Initially, we started with one project and now we are working on multiple projects that vary is scale. I do not hesitate to recommend Flat Architecture to anyone.
We have been working with Raj for 5 years now on a handful of diverse projects, from duplexes to multi-family. Raj is a problem-solver; one who is professional, highly responsive and always pleasant to work with. His communication skills are unmatched. I don’t have to go through different channels to get an issue resolved, because Raj makes himself available. I definitely recommend him.
Rajinder and his team do a fantastic job with site planning and overcoming design challenges. At Mortise Construction, we value his expertise on all areas of project development and appreciate the growth as a team working along side with us. We are excited for our many projects come to life with him.
At the core, working with Rajinder at Flat Architecture has been a good experience. We have seen our projects move forward from rezonings to construction. He has attention to detail, an ability to address city comments in a timely manner and a collaborative working mentality with the rest of the consultant team. He has developed a team around him to support his good service.
