He came to PEI in 1974 to design and construct the Ark, a bioshelter that was opened in 1976 by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Since then he has designed many new and renovated buildings, often demonstrating the latest in sustainable design and technology.
In 1977 Ole met Karen Lips, a landscape architect, and they have been together ever since, both personally and professionally. They have a grown son, Leif.

In 2013, Ole became a fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada.
