About

David Pontarini is a Founding Partner of Hariri Pontarini Architects, an internationally-renowned architecture and urban design studio in Toronto. With partner Siamak Hariri, Pontarini has built a diverse portfolio of variously-scaled high-rise and mixed-use developments.

Of particular interest to Pontarini are the scales at which architecture operates and the impact that working across them can have. Starting with single buildings, and scaling up to block, neighborhood, and large-scale master plans, Pontarini has played an active role in shaping cities across Canada, while bringing strategic growth, sustainable development, and diversification to improve the quality of urban life.
