Sustainable Community Studio
The western Sustainable Community Studio is a multi-disciplinary group, representing a synthesis of urban planning, master planning, urban design, landscape design and sustainability. As an emerging area of practice, this Studio assists our clients in the development of large parcels of land using principles of sustainable development. Our work combines commitments to transit-oriented development, (including higher densities of mixed-use buildings), safeguarding of green space and its biological diversity, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, more efficient consumption of renewable energy, waste recycling, food safety and protection of water resources. The Studio draws from skilled personnel in Vancouver, Victoria and Calgary and finds its champions in the BC offices.

We maintain a strong commitment to the sustainable design of our buildings as well, and see every project as an opportunity to renew our commitment to environmental quality. Our LEED Gold BC Visitors Centre at Golden exemplifies the marriage of beautiful and sustainable architecture. Through design based on sustainability principles, our clients benefit from reduced building life-cycle costs, increases in worker productivity, and enhanced quality of life.
