World’s tallest Passive House towers planned in Vancouver
A pair of developers are planning to build the world’s tallest Passive House structure in Vancouver.
Landa Global Properties and Asia Standard Americas have submitted a rezoning application for a two-tower rental home and condo development at 1400 Alberni Street in downtown Vancouver.
Passive House is a green building standard developed in Germany that boosts energy efficiency and comfort, and it reduces a building’s greenhouse gas emissions. There are about 1,150 Passive House buildings worldwide.
...
The two new towers in downtown Vancouver will climb to 48 and 43 storeys, respectively, and will include 450 homes, including 129 rental units, and a daycare, said Kevin Cheung, Landa’s CEO.
...
Cheung said the project was designed in partnership by New York-based Robert A.M. Stern Architects and Vancouver firm Musson Cattle Mackey Partnership.
