Fathom Studio
Fathom Studio in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia represents the coming together of two initially separate ventures: Ekistics Planning & Design and Form:Media.

In 2014, Ekistics added architecture to its services under the leadership of Chris Crawford, and in 2019, LeBlanc merged the companies to create Fathom Studio.

Design Collaborative
When looking at new projects, the idea often crosses one’s mind: what is good design?

Innovations for Greening Construction
There is no question that concrete is a strong and enduring cornerstone of the construction industry. Just consider the Pantheon and Colosseum in Rome, testaments to the durability of one of man’s most widely used materials.

Dinoflex
Driving—it’s something that most of us do, and let’s face it, where would we be without it? But we also know that it comes with downsides for our environment. The emissions are the obvious part, but there is another significant part of our vehicles that can also contribute to pollution: the tires that our cars run on.
