Les Klein

As founder and principal of Quadrangle, Les Klein is committed to the notion that urban design, city building and architectural excellence all play important roles in maintaining and enhancing the quality of life for the entire community.

Previously the founding partner of Klein Taylor Goldsmith Limited, Les merged his firm with Curtner Brown Architects to create Quadrangle in 1986. He has worked on innovative residential development for diverse populations, the adaptive reuse of existing structures and the creation of dynamic environments for ideas-based private sector entrepreneurs. Much of this work is focused on urban housing, broadcast and media facilities, corporate offices and hotels.

In 1994, Les was inducted into the College of Fellows of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (FRAIC). He served as Chair of the Ontario Fire Code Commission and the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) Complaints Committee, and currently sits on the OAA Discipline Committee.
