Sustainability
A major wood component was the natural choice given strong sustainable design agenda presented by the City of Ottawa. One of the project mandates was to have a community focus group that we would consult with throughout the design. It was the community that told us that they really wanted wood. They didn’t just tell us that they wanted it to look and feel bright and comfortable they told us wood was a way of achieving our goals. That made it easy for us, when we took the feedback to the City.
