Charter Telecom is Western Canada’s first Passive House office building. In addition to this, Charter Telecom’s new headquarters is the first cross laminated timber building on Vancouver Island. These innovative design techniques and standards have positioned this project on the leading edge of building science and sustainability.

The structure is assembled from pre-manufactured heavy timber, followed by a layer of insulation and envelope work, and finally the building is covered in a protective cladding and roofing membrane protecting the building from the elements with an uninterrupted armor.
