BIM Intelligence

Northline / 01Toronto · Canada

We make complex
buildings clear.

Northline brings architectural intent, façade knowledge, and digital intelligence into one focused practice.

Every line should carry an idea. Every detail should make that idea buildable.

02 Expertise

Three ways
we add value.

From first principles to fabrication-ready information.
01

Façade &
Envelope

Envelope strategy, curtain wall systems, detailing, and performance-minded resolution from concept through delivery.

  • System strategy
  • Technical detailing
  • Design coordination
02

Architectural
Design

Contemporary architecture shaped by proportion, material, context, and the realities of how buildings come together.

  • Concept design
  • Design development
  • Documentation
03

BIM &
Automation

Digital workflows connecting model intelligence to coordination, fabrication, quality control, and embodied carbon.

  • Revit systems
  • Workflow automation
  • Digital QA

03 Selected studies

04 Method

One clear line
from idea to detail.

  1. 01

    Frame

    Define the ambition, constraints, and decisions that matter.

  2. 02

    Develop

    Test form, system, performance, and material together.

  3. 03

    Resolve

    Translate intent into coordinated, buildable information.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    Carry clarity from the model into drawing and fabrication.

05 The studio

Imaginative in concept.
Exact in execution.

Northline Architectural Design is a Toronto-based independent studio founded by Mehdi Naddaf, Intern Architect, OAA. The practice combines architectural thinking, deep façade experience, and custom digital tools to make complex buildings clearer and more buildable.
