Jill Taylor co-founded Taylor Hazell Architects with Charles Hazell in 1992.

Jill’s work as a team leader is built on 40 years of experience in the heritage field, as a courthouse designer and in planning and policy development. She is a skilled facilitator and a dedicated liaison for THA clients. In addition to her work as a project principal and project architect for large institutional sites, she is an expert in facility planning and programming. She has planned and worked on dozens of provincial courthouses, both new and historic. She is a highly regarded member of the heritage conservation field, with expertise in heritage policy, planning, adaptive reuse, masonry conservation and decorative interiors.

Jill’s academic background is in Architecture, English literature and art and architectural history. She is an avid amateur musician.

Jill believes that the future of our land, water, cities, and towns depends on urgent action now to sustain the valued natural and built environment. She devotes much of her spare time to activism in community building at the local level, and working with groups that support Great Lakes preservation and clean water.

Proud to be a woman in architecture, she supports stronger representation and leadership roles for women and girls in construction and the professions.

She is a Fellow in the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (FRAIC), is past Chair of the Conservation Review Board of Ontario, and is past-President of the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals, and current Chair of the Southampton Cultural Heritage Conservancy. Jill is a LEED certified professional and registered to practice architecture in Ontario and Manitoba.
