From 1964 to 1979, The firm's founding partners, Arthur Townend, John Stefura and Orest Beleshta established an architectural style revolving around the principles of brutalism.

[14] During this time, the firm designed Pavilion Alphonse Raymond, Tom Davies Civic Square, and many others which contributed to Brutalist architecture.

[16] Since 2007, the firm has operated as Bélanger Salach Architects, focusing on sustainable and Practical Architecture such as the newly constructed Place des Arts[13] located in Sudbury, Ontario.
