This project is a 5-storey office & community-engagement building (Operational Support Facility / OSF) for Peel Regional Police at Brampton, ON, It is a mass-timber building with DLT floor slab and glulam structure on a 6m grid. With exposed mass-timber ceiling, the building utilizes raised access floor with underfloor air distribution (UFAD), water & air source heat-pump to optimized for zero carbon certification.

The design inspiration draws from integrating nature as part of a built form. The curtain wall ribbon turns and wraps around the building, forming double-height interconnected space on each floor, providing indoor year-round collaboration gardens within walking distance from office. Furthermore, these indoor gardens are connected to outdoor terraces on each floor, providing direct-access to fresh-air and outdoor nature when weather permits.

The facade features glazed terracotta with concave-undulating profile on the top-half, and matte terracotta with convex-undulating profile on the low-half; evoking the nature that surrounds us.
