Steve Isfeld was Republic’s first hire and has played a crucial role in the growth of the team. Steve’s career as an Architect began as a jack-of-all-trades, where he would take on any task from project management, design, 3D modelling, and IT. He has managed and worked with multidisciplinary teams across Canada to deliver a wide breadth of project typologies. This experience provided Steve with a hands-on understanding of best practices and processes to drive operational success. Today, Steve enjoys his role collaborating and consulting with the team, contributing to projects at a high level, and seeing the progress.


A fan of the Winnipeg Jets and Blue Bombers, Steve enjoys cheering on his home teams. He especially loves hockey and is the goalie for his sponge hockey team. Steve plays acoustic guitar and is self-taught on piano (with the help of YouTube).

And All That Jazz

Steve lists the Chicago School as his favourite architectural style, and the signature John Hancock Center as his favourite building.

Antarctica

One of Steve's greatest aspirations is to develop architectural work for the Antarctic context. He says that it would be "the polar opposite to the work that we do."

Film Buff

Cinema is one of Steve's obsessions, and he would love to eventually collaborate with the film industry on an architectural project.
