EDMONTON HUMANE SOCIETY RENOVATION/ADDITION
As fierce animal lovers, working with the humane society is a heart filled project. Their existing facility is a great building, but they use it heavily doing the great work they do, so its time for a refresh! We have had the joy of shadowing the hardworking staff and volunteers, learning from the vets and the trainers, and even best practices in world renowned facilities to figure out best possible design for the staff and animal welfare within budget. We will be able to unveil the renderings of what is to come SO soon! Stay tuned!

Tara McCashin, Founder/Architect, AAA
Tara founded Tula Architecture in 2025, with a determination to guide this practice with a strong social conscience—expressed not only through the work produced in the office but also through an understanding of, and contribution to, the broader community context. Bringing with her an incredible group of clients such as Colliers, Elizabeth Fry Society, Li'l Einstein learning centre, The Humane Society, and Harmonize Family Services. To stay grounded in functional realities, she has ongoing commercial and industrial work, with a particular interest in practical solutions.
Her passion in the overall industry lies in chipping away at complex systemic challenges, and leading real world practice of values, particularly in designing for and consulting with individuals who cannot advocate for themselves. Tara approaches each project with a heartfelt connection, seeking to uncover the deeper needs and aspirations of her clients through attentive listening and thoughtful, high-quality communication.
She was self employed from 2019 to 2021 with a determination to become clear about how real change can be made in the industry, then became co-founder of Claroscuro Architecture from 2022 to 2025. As her and the other architect developed their portfolios at Claroscuro over three years, their individual visions became clearer, and Tara was ready to lead her own firm her own way.
In addition to her professional work, she serves on the Future Leaders Committee for CREW and the Education Committee for the CAA, where she mentors and empowers young women and emerging Architects, ensuring they have the support and resources needed to thrive in their careers. She also sits on the CAA Board of Directors and serves as Treasurer.
