JRS & Partisans project called the “New Poster Child for Sustainable Design”

Posted September 23, 2022

Designed in collaboration with Partisans, 1925 Victoria Park Road in Scarborough will be the first privately developed Tier 4 (or net-zero) building under the Toronto Green Standard. Featuring prefab wood construction, a bright internal courtyard with softscape planting, exterior corridors bordered by a ‘green mesh’, intensive green roofs, and natural ventilation to reduce carbon emissions, the proposed residential building has been called “New Poster Child for Sustainable Design.” (Treehugger)
