The Jasper Place Branch Library was the joint venture between firms Hughes Condon Marier Architects (HCMA) and Dub Architects. The new library was to replace the old, but was still inspired by the 1960’s Modernist design of the original. The city of Edmonton required sustainable attributes in the building’s design, which was ultimately awards LEED Gold certification.

What if a building didn’t just have sustainable attributes? There weren’t just aspects or portions of the building’s design that adhered to the world’s leading performance standard LEED (Leadership in Energy and environmental Design), but what happens when one of the key design principles in a building is energy efficiency? You get a building with the highest LEED Platinum score ever worldwide in the category of ‘Core and Shell.’
l‘Office 64 de l‘Habitat, a French housing association, built their new Bayonne headquarters with a very literal interpretation of the concept of green building. Wanting the building to be extremely efficient in terms of energy consumption, it was given several sustainable attributes upon construction. Using a wide range of architectural materials; timber, concrete, glass and composite, Arotcharen Architectes were able to create a façade with maximum climate control.
