Behind the Build: Cathy Garrido - Altius Architecture

Cathy Garrido is the co-founder of Altius Architecture, recently (since recording) re-named as Sustain Design Architects Inc., alongside fellow Waterloo grad Graham Smith. While there were four partners initially, Cathy and Graham are the two remaining. Cathy took to architecture as a profession, in some ways, as a part of a destined path. With building in her blood, both her father and grandfather being builders, she had always been around construction.
