  • Description: The firm is developing a manufacturing system that will automate much of the production of the mass timber, passive-house-standard residential units, with the aim to create high-performing apartments at an affordable cost. While the jurors sought more resolution at the unit level, they applauded the arrangement of units around a shared courtyard, allowing for natural light, cross-ventilation, and individual front doors to apartments. Another project, Western North York Community Centre by MJMA, is not only an elegant approach to placemaking in a suburban context, but also targets net-zero energy-a tremendous accomplishment for an aquatic facility, a building type that typically has high energy requirements because of the need to continuously heat swimming pool water. "Perhaps the biggest tool in our sustainability toolbox is to change the culture, and to have people appreciate the natural environment-then they can take that back to their communities and demand that quality of environment everywhere," said Phillips.
