Ten Years of Inertia!

Ten years ago today, Trent Letwiniuk, Stephen Barnecut and Paul Shannon met for breakfast and decided to go to the registry office before the end of the day and start a partnership. It didn't take long for us to become incorporated and grow out of working from our homes. We joined forces for a while with a number of small design firms including Casola Koppe Architects (where Paul is currently plying his skills).

More recently, Inertia has doubled the size of our office, increased our staff to eight, and started a sister company called Gravity Architecture which specializes in multi-residential and mixed use projects.

We're looking forward to the next ten years!

Holiday Hours

Inertia's office will be closed from December 23rd through to December 27th, and then again from December 30th through to January 3rd, 2016. Our office is open on December 28th and 29th, and we are open and back to our regular schedule on January 4th, 2016.

For urgent after-hours matters, please call Trent at (403) 464-7721 or Stephen at (403) 617-2724.

Post-Bowling Glow

This past Friday, the staff at Inertia could barely contain their joy that they didn't have to bowl any more. Well, except Trent who thought if he could just play one more game he would come out on top. Yes, that is the shirt that Stephen bowled in. He doesn't have any bowling wear and found it hard not to come home with the cool shoes they gave him.

Inertia Turns Nine Today

Today is Inertia's ninth anniversary.

At the beginning of 2006, Trent Letwiniuk, Stephen Barnecut and Paul Shannon were all working at Jager/AlanRidge homes, and Calgary was booming. Builders couldn't build the homes as fast as they could sell them, and that was especially the case with AlanRidge. Things were going a bit sideways are work, and we were each being approached by colleagues desperate for help with their residential design.

So the three of us agreed to meet at Denny's before work on Monday, January 30th. It didn't take long before we had agreed to start our own firm. But before breakfast was done, Stephen expressed his concern that if we didn't get moving right away, then inertia would be against us, and we needed to have inertia on our side.

Before the day was out, we had gone to the registry and registered Inertia.
