🏆 We're thrilled to announce that our CABN Vision Plan has been named a finalist in the prestigious World Architecture Festival's Future Masterplanning category and recognized as a winner of the #WAFX Values and Ethics Award! 🏆 Led by Jamie Miller and B H Biomimicry, we worked with CABN to integrate their sustainable technology with sustainable planning methodologies. The CABN Vision Plan is rooted in our "Living Story" approach, which fosters a deep connection to the land. By understanding the land's needs and characteristics, we're designing a development that harmonizes with nature while addressing the region's growing housing demand. The CABN Vision Plan is built on two core principles. First, it demonstrates how to create sustainable and affordable housing by integrating with the natural landscape. Second, it showcases the power of innovative design and technology to build resilient communities. We envision the CABN Vision Plan as a blueprint for redefining urban development, where sustainability is at the heart of the design process.

Very proud of our entry getting 2nd place in the Buildner ‘Under the Bridge’ international design competition. The competition provided a great opportunity to give some thought to the affordable housing crisis in our hometown of Toronto. The design team reimagined the new stretch of the rerouted Gardiner expressway as being encapsulated within a modular structure. The elevated highway is surrounded by and buried within a community of affordable housing units, amenity, and green spaces. The modular geometry is informed by the structural shape of the very box girders used to construct elevated highways. The design was also inspired by the hexagonal geometry of bee hives. We believe that this centrally located stretch of elevated infrastructure in Toronto can be leveraged to do more than benefit commuters.

We are also grateful for the cool opportunity to collaborate with the sister companies within the global SJ group. We enjoyed bouncing conceptual ideas during virtual pinups with the SJ Global Design Council, and appreciated the informed feedback and sketches from Robert Bird Group Structural Engineers.
