Jeff Cogliati is a Canadian architect and the founder of Bloom Architects, an emerging Toronto-based studio recognized as one of the country’s first fully AI driven architecture practices. Born and raised in Windsor, 1Ontario, Jeff’s early exposure to Detroit’s rich Art Deco skyline shaped his lifelong interest in design. He began his architectural education at St. Clair College and later transferred to Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Michigan, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Architecture. He went on to complete a Master of Architecture at Toronto Metropolitan University, formerly Ryerson.

Jeff’s career spans two decades across some of Canada’s most respected firms. He began at WZMH Architects, continued with HOK and Audax, and later joined Page + Steele IBI Group, where he spent nearly thirteen years and became a principal. In that role, he led major residential design teams and oversaw projects from feasibility through construction. His work helped shape skylines in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Halifax. In 2023, he joined B+H Architects to lead its residential sector before founding Bloom Architects in 2025.

At Bloom, Jeff and his partner combine architecture, interior design, and advanced AI tools to deliver projects efficiently while expanding creative potential. Their work ranges from custom homes to multi building residential communities. His practice reflects a belief that technology should enhance human creativity rather than replace it.

Outside of architecture, Jeff’s lifelong passion for music mirrors his approach to design. Both disciplines demand rhythm, collaboration, and the pursuit of harmony.
