Trinca Architecture Inc. was founded in 2014 by Manny Trinca, following eleven years as Senior Architect with Francl Architecture in Vancouver. With 33 years immersed in architectural design and project management, Manny has built a wide-ranging portfolio spanning large-scale recreational, commercial, civic, and residential developments — from the award-winning Trout Lake Community Centre and Arena to the Indian Residential School History & Dialogue Centre at UBC, developed in strategic collaboration with Formline Architecture.
Manny has a particular passion for designing unique West Coast homes on the challenging, dramatic sites of Howe Sound, where steep terrain, water, and forest demand a design response as bold as the landscape itself.
Manny’s keen eye for design and creative instinct have earned the respect of colleagues, consultants, contractors, and clients alike. He brings not only technical rigor and professionalism to every project, but a genuine passion for design, presentation, and the craft of shaping spaces that connect people to place.
