• About Firm
  Led by Principal Venelin Kokalov, Revery Architecture is an internationally acclaimed design firm based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Committed to a philosophy of ‘Building Beyond Buildings’, Revery couples’ architecture with broader community initiatives, cultivating thoughtful spaces that are contextually sensitive, intriguing, and spirited. With sustainability and innovation at the forefront, Revery’s transformative designs inspire a deeper connection between people and place.

The Freedom Mobile Arch at Vancouver’s Pacific National Exhibition will soon become one of the world’s largest free-span timber arch structures. Transforming a former 1960s open-air amphitheater, its 340-foot starburst structure of sixty glulam arches frame sweeping views of the city's picturesque North Shore Mountains. The all-electric, near-zero-emissions venue unites advanced performance systems, universal accessibility, and sustainable design in celebration of local identity, resilience, and connection through innovative mass timber architecture.
