Ten innovative building projects from around the world are described that rethink standard construction types and techniques. The projects employ atypical public-private partnerships, push sustainability, and forge new partnerships. Examples include the Cellophane House prefabricated home prototype, citizenM hotels that stack modular rooms, Chicago's Green Alley program that uses permeable surfaces, and London's Idea Stores that combine library and classroom space.

The idea of Energy Efficient design is
to modulate the conditions such that they
are always within or as close as possible to
comfort zone.Modulations introduced by the
landscape,built form,envelope,materials and
other control measures bring the conditions
within the range throughout twenty four hours
cycle.
This is goal of Energy Efficient Architecture
Buildings, as they are designed and used today, contribute to serious environmental and economical problems because of excessive consumption of energy and other natural resources. The close connection between energy use in buildings and environmental damage arises because energy-intensive and monetarily expensive solutions sought to construct a building and meet its demands for heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting cause severe depletion of invaluable environmental resources
Energy resource efficiency in new constructions
can be effected by adopting an
Integrated Approach To Building Design.

Around the world, modular construction is being widely adopted by businesses, schools, hotels, and more as their method of choice to build or add on. The benefits of modular, including shortened timeline, faster ROI are leading more and more industries to choose modular over traditional.
In the U.S. on the other hand, it has taken a bit longer to realize the benefits of modular for building needs. However, with the latest environmental, financial and technical benefits of modular, more U.S. based businesses are choosing to build modular.

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

3. 2. citizenM Hotel
amsterDam, the netherLanDs
Manufactured dwelling space is not limited to individual housing. For each citizenM Hotel, only
the ground floor is built on-site with conventional methods; the modular rooms are assembled at
the company’s own off-site factory, shipped to the destination, and stacked. The approach speeds
the building process and cuts down on construction waste. The cost savings allow the citizenM
company, based in Voorschoten, Netherlands, to charge low room rates and still provide high-end
materials and amenities; for example, it has partnered with the luxury firm Vitra for its furniture.
Each hotel room is 151 square feet (14 sq m) and includes a king-sized bed. To make efficient
use of space and maximize natural light, the design dispenses with walled-off bathrooms;
instead, each room’s shower and toilet is enclosed in its own glass cylinder within the main
space. (See “Hospitality Going Green,” February, page 54.) The first citizenM opened last year
with 230 rooms at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport; the second opened this year in the Amster-
dam city center with 215 rooms. Some 20 additional citizenM hotels are scheduled to open in

5. 4. Idea Stores
LonDon, U.k.
As libraries move into the 21st century, they are redefining their role
in an increasingly digital society. The Idea Stores represent an unusual
model, offering not only traditional library services, but also more than
1,000 classes in areas such as career training, health and fitness, and
foreign languages.
In the late 1990s, the London borough of Tower Hamlets, one of the
city’s most economically challenged boroughs, had more libraries per
capita than its inner-city counterparts, but the most rapid decline in
their use. The Tower Hamlets Council surveyed residents and found they
wanted modern facilities with a wider range of services. Since 2002, the
council has opened four Idea Stores, one inside a Canary Wharf mall.
The flagship is Idea Store Whitechapel, designed by London’s Adjaye
Associates. Its colored-glass cube highlights the accessibility, transpar-
Tower hamleTs council
ency, and contemporary nature of the concept. Funds for the facilities
came from council money, donations, grants, and partnerships with corpo-
rations such as Lloyds of London and the Sainsbury’s supermarket chain.
6. 5. Orthopaedic Hospital High School
Los angeLes, CaLifornia
Faced with significant overcrowding in its school facili-
ties, the Los Angeles Unified School District had a lot
of ground to make up when voters approved state
bond measures for school construction between 1997
and 2003. Because land to build new campuses was
scarce and expensive, the district adopted high-density
design strategies, plus entered into public/private
partnerships, not only to make use of shared land, but
also to provide enhanced educational opportunities.
Designed by R.L. Binder Architecture & Planning of
Playa Del Rey, California, Orthopaedic Hospital High
School opened in 2004, as did eight other new schools.
.l. binDer archiTecTure & planning
The 850-student medical magnet school shares the
site with Orthopaedic Hospital, a private hospital that
donated a portion of the high school’s 4.27-acre (1.7-ha)
campus to the district. The partnership also provides
students with the chance to learn from the hospital’s
staff and engage in internships.
8. 7. ROAR One
VanCoUVer, british CoLUmbia, CanaDa
ROAR One represents an exploration of higher-
density urban housing, avoiding the standardized
spatial layouts of typical condominiums to address
the varied lifestyles and household structures of
contemporary city dwellers. Local architecture firms
LWPAC Lang Wilson Practice in Architecture Culture
Inc. and Hotson Bakker Boniface Haden Associated
Architects organized ROAR One as two volumes
bisected by a long internal courtyard and perforated
by slots that create continuous open spaces from
front to back. Large inset patios provide each dwell-
ing with its own sheltered outdoor space.
The ten two-story units—six live/work spaces and
four penthouses, ranging from 800 to 1,000 square
feet (74 to 93 sq m)—have flexible interiors support-
ing a variety of configurations. Floor-to-ceiling glaz-
ing and operable windows provide plenty of natural
light and air; residents can adjust large exterior slid-
ing screens to shade themselves or create privacy.
The project was completed in 2006 for Vancouver-
lehoux
based ROAR Ventures Ltd.
9. 8. Serenbe
PaLmetto, georgia
In rural Chattahoochee Hill Country, 32 miles (52 km)
south of Atlanta, an unusually green community is
taking shape. Former restaurateur and local landowner
Steve Nygren bought 900 acres (364 ha) adjacent to
his property to keep it from falling prey to city sprawl.
He and other landowners got zoning laws changed
for the 40,000-acre (16,000-ha) region to require that
80 percent of the land be preserved as green space
through a transfer of development rights program.
With master planning by local planner Phillip
Tabb, Nygren and others created on Nygren’s land
the 220-home Serenbe, three hamlets fitted into
the terrain for low environmental impact, with all
dwellings certified as sustainable by EarthCraft
House, the area’s residential green building pro-
gram. Included in the project are live/work units,
townhouses, cottages, and estate homes. Architec-
roberT rausch/serenbe
tural diversity—including contemporary design—is
encouraged, and the number of homes is limited to
220, of which half have been built to date. The site
also includes a 25-acre (10-ha) organic farm, com-
mercial tenants, and restaurants.
10. 9. UniverCity
bUrnaby, british CoLUmbia, CanaDa
In the 1990s, Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British
Columbia, transferred more than 790 acres (320 ha) of open
space to the city of Burnaby for conservation in exchange for
permission to develop a 4,536-unit residential community,
UniverCity, on 161 acres (65 ha) adjacent to the university’s
mountaintop campus. A 25-minute drive from downtown
Vancouver, the site is on the city’s rapid transit system and
several bus routes. Zoning bylaws require green building
practices for all new developments, with density bonuses
for those that go beyond the minimum green standards.
All dwellings at UniverCity are multifamily residences, both
townhouses and apartments, including 60 units sold at 20
percent below-market rates to faculty and staff. Zoning bylaws
also allow apartments to have secondary suites that can be

rented out separately—an affordable option particularly well
suited for students. The Cornerstone, a mixed-use building,
has neighborhood-serving retail space, and an elementary
school is under construction. About 2,500 residents currently
live in UniverCity of a projected total of 10,000 at buildout.
UniverCity was one of ten winners of ULI’s 2009 Awards for Excellence: The Americas competition.
11. 10. Vauxhall Cross Interchange
LonDon, U.k.
In the Vauxhall area of London, transit passengers often had
to dash across a busy highway to transfer between different
modes of transportation. Arup’s London office designed for
the government agency Transport for London a new transporta-
tion interchange to knit the transit modes together, enhance
safety, and serve as a landmark to stimulate regeneration. Six
highway lanes were reduced to four, freeing up room for the
arup associaTes/chrisTian richTers
Vauxhall Cross Interchange, a multimodal facility that connects
buses, the London Underground (subway), and the rail system,
while providing safer passage for pedestrians and cyclists.
Opened in 2005, the facility’s most innovative feature is its
distinctive canopy—a 655-foot- (200-m-) long ribbon of stain-
less steel that dips over each bus stand to shelter passengers;
at the northern end, the ribbon rises up in twin cantilevers,
marking the interchange’s location. The 20-degree slope also
positions the high-efficiency, building-integrated photovoltaics
on the cantilever surfaces for maximum solar power genera-
tion, providing 30 percent of the electricity for the facility,
which is open day and night. UL
