About

Faye Bonifacio's black & white headshot

Hi, my name is Faye! I'm a Master of Architecture student at the University of Toronto, with a Bachelor of Architectural Science from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson).

My work is grounded in public and sustainable design, with a focus on community-driven architecture and thoughtful material expression. I aim to design meaningful, beautiful buildings that contribute positively to their contexts and support future generations.

I've gained professional experience across heritage, institutional, and residential projects. Most recently, I worked at ERA Architects as a Student Intern, gaining hands-on experience with heritage-protected buildings, including new additions and restoration projects. I've also worked on multi-unit residential projects at Giannone Petricone Architects, contributing to façade explorations, early design planning, and permit drawings.

During my undergraduate studies, I completed a 16-month co-op placement at RH Carter Architects (my first professional architecture role) where I worked through schematic and conceptual design phases.

As I complete my Master's degree, I'm excited to explore where my work and interests will lead next!
