LEADING INNOVATION

We pride ourselves on delivering innovative architecture that utilizes industry leading technology to provide quality buildings that are faster to build, and grounded in sustainable practice. Our strength lies in transforming complex project parameters into simple, budget-conscious solutions with a keen attention to detail. LWPAC is partnered with Intelligent City, a Mass Timber Housing Product Company based in Vancouver. LWPAC are experts in their Mass Timber products, and can offer full architectural services for any client working with Intelligent City’s system.

Our designs are flexible and sustainable, ensuring they remain relevant and beneficial to their communities. We focus on creating buildings that are innovative, beautiful, and environmentally responsible. This holistic approach has earned us significant recognition both locally and internationally.

PREFABRICATION

With over twenty years of research invested into modular and prefabricated construction techniques, our studio has designed and built both prefabricated volumetric and panelized housing solutions. This ultimately led to the creation of Intelligent City, our sister company dedicated to pre-fabricated mass timber  integrated panel system. This is a testament to our commitment to align architecture and housing with our goals for sustainability, cost effectiveness,  and livability. Together with our sister company, Intelligent City, we are positioned as leaders in integrated processes, mass timber design, detailing and engineering-to-installation. We pride ourselves on accurate and considered design process that enable our Owners to move projects forward with increased budget confidence and accuracy.

MASS TIMBER

We are well versed in all types of construction methods and have projects that range from concrete, steel and mass timber. However, it is the latter which we have found to be the ideal construction method for achieving sustainable low carbon housing. Through the use of Mass Timber, offsite prefabrication and advanced manufacturing techniques, we can control quality, reduce construction waste, provide schedule confidence, and reduce project risk and effectively achieve BC Energy Step Code 4, LEED Gold minimum, BC Wood First, and Passive House standards.

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is central to our practice and our staff are experts in Passive House, LEED, and Mass Timber (Low Carbon) construction.  This expert understanding at the project start ensures your building will be more cost-effective over the lifetime of your building, while ensuring optimal occupant comfort long term.

We strive to minimize waste through advocating for prefabrication, which significantly reduces construction timelines, and we assist our clients in navigating LEED and Passive House certifications so that they can benefit from policy advantages and environmental grants.
