As urban landscapes evolve and housing demands increase, repurposing underutilized office buildings emerges as a sustainable solution. Our duo—Tobias Fellows (Principal, Public Buildings) and Blake Jackson (Director, Sustainability)—recently participated in the Association of Energy Engineers Canada East's final webinar of the session, “Office-to-Residential Conversions: A Whole Building Approach.” The presentation focused on the future of housing availability and opportunities for existing buildings conversions to combat the dual affordability and climate crises. The team highlighted Whole Building approaches to balance and enhance energy efficiency while reducing embodied carbon by realizing the potential and intrinsic value of existing and heritage structures for new, modern uses. For more comprehensive strategies to guide every phase of a building's lifecycle—from design, construction and operation to the building’s end-of-life considerations—connect with our team. Thanks to the AEE Canada East for including us.

The Canadian High Commission redevelopment in Colombo, Sri Lanka aims to create a LEED® Gold facility that supports important operations and presents a positive image of Canada globally. As the Lead Architect, the design retains significant heritage elements of the existing structure, known as Oliver's Castle, while adding new space to meet current functional needs. Sustainable design was integrated through the use of a photovoltaic array, helping to lower carbon emissions and increase energy efficiency. The result will bring together Canadian architectural values with Sri Lankan traditions to create a modern, secure and functional diplomatic mission that respects the local context. #Redevelopment #Architecture #NORR #SriLanka Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada, Tobias Fellows, Norman Tran, Patricia Costa, Peter Croft Dipl.
