Hoyles Architecture is based in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Inspired by the province’s natural beauty, our work draws on the past to imagine a bold future.

Each project begins with a close study of the site - its topography, geology, views, and light - combined with the client’s programmatic needs. From there, we create spaces that honor their place, and serve the people who inhabit them.

Our work aims to stand out while blending in, creating something new that feels like it has always belonged.

  • Bowie

    Barkitect

    Originally from Saint Lucia, Bowie joined the firm in 2022. While still acclimatizing to Newfoundland’s unpredictable weather, he has become an invaluable member of the team. Bowie has a particular appreciation for large, street-facing windows, where he can keep an eye on the neighbourhood—and bark at unsuspecting passers-by.

Solid walls and clerestory windows create a private, understated presence along the street. Once inside, the home opens up to panoramic ocean views. Photography: @janebrokenshire . . . . . #architecture #newfoundland #newfoundlandarchitecture#hoyle
