Skygarden House wins one of nine Canadian Green Building awards
Skygarden House is named one of the National Winners of the Canadian Green Building Awards. These annual awards recognize the best Canadian green buildings as selected by a panel of independent design and building professionals.
Jury Comments: A renovation project that transforms a highly compartmented and energy intensive century old, single-family house into a bright, open and efficient residence. Organized around a central stair that also functions as a light well and ventilation chimney, the house achieves an impressive level of energy performance – close to Passive House standards. With green space provided at every level, the relationship between indoor and outdoor space is apparent everywhere, a remarkable achievement given the constrained site.
