Jason Dobbin
B.Arch., OAA, Architect AIBC, SAA, AIA, FRAIC
Principal
Jason Dobbin is a licensed architect with the AIA and OAA and a Principal at Montgomery Sisam Architects. Over the past 25 years, Jason has cultivated a practice rooted in collaboration and creative discovery. His work reflects a belief that every design is an opportunity for dialogue – one that inspires knowledge sharing and empowers young architects to take ownership of their craft.
Jason began his career in Chicago, working with several acclaimed firms before returning to Canada in 2010 to join Montgomery Sisam. He was appointed Principal in 2015 and has since played an integral role in shaping the firm’s leadership across multiple sectors, including education, healthcare, supportive housing, and urban infrastructure. Each project demonstrates a commitment to socially responsible, environmentally sustainable design that serves both its community and the broader city. His approach emphasizes elemental qualities of design – natural light, effortless form, and rich, locally sourced materials – to create architecture that supports the health and well-being of its inhabitants.
Jason’s contributions extend beyond his practice in studio. He works with several industry organizations to promote positive urban development. He is a former Chair and current executive member of the Toronto Society of Architects and a committee member of the Urban Land Institute of Toronto (ULI). He previously served as a member of the City of Toronto Urban Design Reference Group and City of Toronto and Waterfront Toronto’s Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC), and as a Director of the Design Industry Advisory Committee Board.
