MATERIAL SELECTION // If you’re serious about sustainable building practices, timber is the viable only option for window and door fabrication. Carbon-intensive fossil-fuel based materials just don’t stack up and their role in the construction of zero carbon buildings should be closely examined and equally scrutinised. Timber windows and doors use significantly less fossil fuel in their production than aluminium, steel or PVC and can even be carbon negative in their lifecycle – no other material can claim that.

"The concept for the community hub design is grounded in the primary form of the circle, inspired locally by the formation of the Pow-wow grounds next to the site, and by the circle’s recurring significance within Cree culture." Reimagine Our beautiful and bright Westlam Spruce adorns part of the circular ceiling of the community centre. This exposed mass timber system was chosen to frame the building as it could efficiently handle the complex geometry, provide a beautiful aesthetic and deliver sustainable benefits.

Can adaptive reuse be applied to grain elevators? Surely, it cannot. This project shows how the structures that dot the landscape and are inherently recognized by us as a certain typology could be transformed for reuse, recognition, and a sense of place. Built in 1901, the harbor-front Teweles and Brandeis Grain Elevator was decommissioned in 1960 and sat idle for the next 50 years. When it was facing demolition in 2018, a campaign to save the structure led to the involvement of LA DALLMAN Architects and its engineering team. With strategic subtractions and additions to the utilitarian structure, their adaptive reuse design reimagines the site as a new performance space and tourist destination.

As we gear up for the 2023 RCI Magazine Facade Awards, let's revisit our past successes, starting with the impressive Spanish City project! Spanish City stole the spotlight at the 2021 Facade Awards, clinching the titles of Best Refurbishment Project and Project of the Year. This Grade II Listed building, boasting a Renaissance-style facade, proudly features Proteus cladding, a key element of its award-winning transformation. A bold extension, featuring Proteus SC perforated TECU Patina, was an architectural triumph, earning A D P Architects a RIBA North East Award. The Proteus SC panels' circular perforations align with the building's complex geometry. It's an innovative solution that integrates seamlessly with the building's intricate design. The cladding's durability and protection against coastal elements were critical, given its seafront location. Proteus SC panels combat wear and corrosion, safeguarding the building's longevity. After a meticulous redevelopment by Robertson Group, Spanish City emerged as a vibrant mixed-use leisure hub. With its range of eateries, event space, and community offerings, it once again captures hearts. #FacadeAwards2023 #SpanishCityRevival #Architecturalprojects #buildingprojects
