A public building designed to Passivhaus standards, using cross laminated timber for the striking long-span, saw-toothed roof. Nearly every component, from structure to insulation and finishes is wood-based, achieving a low carbon footprint in line with Canada’s 2050 goals. It’s a bold civic project that combines elegant engineering with environmental leadership in the public sector.
An elegant and efficient mass timber structure that demonstrates how structural engineering can shape both performance and architectural identity. The folded-plate cross laminated timber roof is a standout feature: technically refined, visually expressive, and central to the building’s low-carbon, high-comfort ambitions. This is a confident example of how structural clarity can define civic architecture.
