Cunard Street Live / Work / Grow
Halifax, NSCunard Street Live / Work / Grow exemplifies "people-driven design" through its choice of materials, community integration, and support for a collaborative work environment. Designed as a research project on mass timber construction, the office building incorporates glulam within a five-storey, mixed-use wood structure. The project explores the use of Douglas fir for columns and beams, and spruce-pine for floor slabs, with the thickness of the wood adjusted to meet specific load requirements. Due to the tight urban site, concrete and steel were used for non-combustible elevator shafts and stairwells. The design maximizes natural daylight by positioning services along the east and west walls, allowing for exposed wood ceilings. The post-pandemic informed design emphasizes fresh air, daylight, and connections to nature, serving as a model for future mass timber construction in Atlantic Canada.
