Their passion for architecture, commitment to excellence, and ability to inspire those around them have made a lasting impact at THA.
Sudeep Dey: Bridging History and Modernity
With over 20 years of experience in project design and contract administration, Sudeep Dey brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to THA. He was drawn to our firm by a deep appreciation for history and art, and how these elements can be thoughtfully combined with modern architecture and adaptive reuse. His approach integrates the durability of the past with modern functionality, making him a natural fit for THA’s mission of preserving and enhancing heritage buildings.
Sudeep specializes in large-scale institutional projects, where his ability to see the bigger picture is complemented by an exceptional attention to detail. His current work on the York Memorial Collegiate reconstruction is a testament to his talents. There, he serves as a collaborative leader, coordinating staff and consultants with ease and fostering a true team spirit. This project showcases his dedication to working in projects that honor history while meeting today’s needs.
A graduate of the Master of Science in Architecture program at Louisiana State University (1997) and B.Arch. from IIT Roorkee, India, Sudeep’s educational background informs his approach to design. At THA, his passion for adaptive reuse and architectural conservation continues to inspire and elevate the work we do.
Michelle Dingley: An Architect on the Rise
Since joining THA four years ago, Michelle Dingley has rapidly established herself as a key contributor and leader within the firm. Her journey has been marked by significant growth, as she’s taken on roles in design/production/coordination/administration/project management. Michelle’s commitment to excellence and eye for detail have made her an invaluable asset to our team.
Michelle’s impact is evident in her work on high-profile projects like the Manitoba Legislative Building in Winnipeg, R.C. Harris Water Filtration Plant, and Casa Loma in Toronto. Her leadership extends beyond her projects–she’s a dedicated mentor to interns. Her approachability and supportive nature make her a role model for those starting their careers in architecture, fostering a culture of learning and development at THA.
When Michelle isn’t leading complex projects, she can be found exploring Toronto’s hidden architectural gems, continually fueling her passion for the city’s rich history and eclectic design. Her energy and enthusiasm resonate through her work, where she combines creative problem-solving with organizational expertise to deliver outstanding results.
