Don Jackson and Nic Ypes started the firm of Jackson Ypes & Associates in 1954. From the beginning, the specialty of the Firm was designing institutions. A regular part of the volume of work was housing for seniors, elementary and high schools, and community centres. In 1980, Don Jackson retired and Marilyn Ypes became a Partner with her father, Nic Ypes.
The emphasis on seniors' design then increased to include retirement, long-term care and independent seniors living. Marilyn's academic background in designing for seniors and the CMHC scholarship she received gave the Firm momentum to expand into this area. A steady representation of schools and community centres was also maintained over the years.

Marilyn Ypes Architect Inc. designed a main floor kitchen, pantry, family room and powder room for me. In addition she designed a basement addition complete with kitchen and totally redesigned the second floor of my house including 3 bedrooms, a master en suite bathroom and a walk in closet. She is currently designing a new addition to the family room and 2 new bedrooms over the family room and kitchen. Marilyn's design incorporated everything that I asked for in a very creative and efficient way. I would highly recommend Marilyn and her staff and use her services again. Catherine Barker-Hoyes
