Stephan Teeple established the firm in Toronto in 1989 and has completed numerous large-scale projects relating to university campus residences and student centres.

The firm also has an extended background in various works recognized in institutional, commercial, and residential buildings throughout the Toronto area and beyond the Canadian border.

On a local, national, and international scale, the work of Teeple Architects has received recognition for design excellence and sustainability.

[3] Writing about the project in No Mean City, Canadian architecture critic Alex Bozikovic remarks, “It has the gutsy but practical spirit of Toronto's best architecture: It's green, hardy, and very inexpensive, and provides 85 large and comfortable apartments for Toronto Community Housing tenants.”[4] In 2015, the studio completed the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum, which features an unusual geometric form[5] resembling a dinosaur with skin and bones[6] in Wembley, Alberta.

In 2018, Stephen Teeple received an Honorary Degree from Trent University for adding four buildings to Symons Campus,[7] including the triangular, 34,000-square-foot Student Centre.
