For Jacky Tian, architecture is about more than form — it’s about how people experience space.

From his early interest in design to working on complex mixed-use residential projects, Jacky approaches every challenge with curiosity, adaptability, and a focus on real-world solutions

At S2, that mindset thrives in a culture of collaboration — where ideas are shared, questions are encouraged, and teams grow stronger together.

This is what building together looks like.

For many of us, this weekend marks the beginning.

Tents come out of storage. Trails call. Lakes, mountains, and open skies remind us why we choose to live and build in Western Canada.

Victoria Day long weekend is more than a break — it’s a return to the places that ground us. The ones that inspire how we design, how we connect, and how we imagine what’s possible.

At S2, we believe the built environment and the natural one are deeply connected. How we create should always respect where we are.

Wherever the weekend takes you — camping, exploring, or simply slowing down — we hope it’s filled with fresh air, good company, and a renewed sense of place.

Happy May Long.

We’re proud to be a sponsor of the CHAA Called to Care Conference 2026 — and to be part of the conversations shaping the future of continuing care in Alberta.

This year’s conference brings together leaders across health care, seniors’ services, and government to explore how compassion, collaboration, and courageous leadership can drive meaningful change in care environments.

At S2, we see these discussions as essential. Because the spaces we design must do more than function — they must support dignity, adaptability, and the people at the centre of care.

We’ll be in attendance over the two days, connecting with partners, learning alongside industry leaders, and contributing to the dialogue around what comes next.

If you’re attending, let’s connect. Conference starts this Wednesday. https://cha-ab.ca/conference/CHAA2026

The future of continuing care in Alberta is being built right now — through collaboration, investment, and shared insight.

Tomorrow, Genevieve Giguere will be joining industry leaders as a panel speaker at the Invest in Alberta’s Continuing Care: Think Tank 2026 — a forum bringing together voices across government, operations, design, and construction to explore how the next generation of care environments will be planned and delivered.

As Alberta moves from commitment to implementation — with significant investment and a renewed focus on modernizing care — conversations like these are critical. They shape how we design spaces that support dignity, adaptability, and long-term community impact.

At S2, we’re proud to be part of that dialogue — contributing design perspectives that help translate vision into real, livable environments.

If you’re attending, we’d love to connect.

In our series, Associate Nicole Guenette reflects on mentorship, legacy, and raising the bar in our profession

After 25 years in the industry, Nicole still approaches every project with curiosity and professional rigour. She speaks openly about the responsibility we carry as designers — that our work becomes part of people’s daily lives.

Her perspective reminds us:
Design is not decoration.
It is professional stewardship.
It is legacy.

Nicole also emphasizes the importance of education, mentorship, and elevating standards across architecture and interior design.

We are proud to walk together with leaders who believe excellence is built over time.

Who has shaped your professional journey?

Congratulations to Anthem on the completion of The Village, the brand new Glacier Ridge Residents Association.

This project represents what happens when vision and partnership align. Through collaboration, careful coordination, and steady guidance from early design through construction, we helped shape a space that will anchor a growing neighbourhood for years to come

Spaces like this become the setting for swim lessons, celebrations, meetings, and quiet daily routines.

We are grateful to work alongside partners who believe community spaces deserve thoughtful ex*****on.

To the teams who brought this to life — thank you.

Grand Opening celebrations are Saturday, April 18 from 12:00–2:00 PM at The Village.

Great culture doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built, supported, and sustained every day.

Jane Kratochvil has been part of that foundation at S2 for over 20 years — shaping the experience behind the scenes and helping our people do their best work. As Human Resources and Office Manager, she brings care, consistency, and a deep understanding of what makes a team thrive.

For Jane, it always comes back to people — the relationships we build, the support we offer, and the environment we create together.

This is what building together looks like.

This weekend is a reminder to pause.

To gather around the table.
To spend time with the people who matter most.
To enjoy the simple things — fresh air, shared moments, and maybe a few too many chocolate eggs.

At S2, we know the spaces we create are only meaningful because of the lives lived within them. Weekends like this bring that into focus.

However you’re celebrating, we hope it’s filled with connection, rest, and just the right amount of chocolate.

Happy long weekend.

When seconds matter, design matters.

Fire halls and emergency operations facilities demand more than aesthetics. They require efficiency, durability, clarity of movement, and adaptability for evolving equipment and teams.

For over 30 years, we’ve partnered with municipalities to create facilities that support those who protect us. We design with the understanding that these buildings are tools — and they must perform without compromise.

How can infrastructure design better support frontline teams?
