Pyrrha Headquarters - Vancouver

This heritage home and workshop of a jewelry studio is located in the thriving neighbourhood of Mount Pleasant in Vancouver, BC. The 13,000 sq. ft. Pyrrha Headquarters project involved the restoration of a 3-level heritage house and the construction of a new 6-storey mass timber infill tower to house jewelry manufacturing.

The CLT structure is a platform-frame construction of panel-on-panel design, incorporating large panel spline connectors, CLT floors, and an elevator-stair core. The tower was designed to meet Zero Carbon Building (v2) certification and includes sustainability features like geothermal heat exchange, View Dynamic Glass, and material reuse.  The mass timber was supplied on a just-in-time basis as there was no available laydown space on the project.
