Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) Headquarters
The Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) Headquarters and Multi-Tenant Commercial Building is a progressive, mass timber project built on a foundation of social, environmental, and financial sustainability. Designed by Canadian architectural studio Moriyama Teshima Architects (MTA), the building was constructed using net-zero strategies. The defining design integrates commercial opportunities with the relocation and revitalisation of the OSSTF’s offices in Toronto.

A villa where the viewer, the visitor and the occupant are central.
Villa?
Must a villa always look like a villa? At B-too, we aim to create a unique and surprising experience for the observer, visitor, and resident. The villa on this former estate serves as a prime example.
Is it even a villa? Where does the villa begin? What is there to experience?

North Salem Farm is one such case in point. In a conversation with Max Worrell and Jejon Yeung, they discuss a number of the design aspects that coalesce to create this contemporary dwelling.

Woody
The office building for Santé publique France, the French public healthcare agency, is located at the edge of the Bois de Vincennes, from which it draws its inspiration. It is entirely made of wood: structure, flooring, façades… The shape is like a bundle of sticks placed on the ground that branch out like open, protective arms.

The project has created a pleasant space that takes its users’ wellbeing fully into account. It uses natural and recyclable construction procedures and materials, free of all so... More
