Situated at the western gateway to the Town of Milton, this 3-storey office building presents a modern & professional introduction to the Town’s Downtown Core. The building manages a very tight corner site with interesting massing and underground parking. Tenant spaces benefit from a centralized chiller & heat pump technology, and a high performance envelope to minimize energy using durable materials for the building exterior. The 4th floor provides unmatched views of the escarpment to the West.
Green Propeller Design provided full architectural services; site plan approval, programming, design services, permit documents, construction documents, and contract administration throughout construction phase. The technical drawings were produced in Revit, with structural drawings also in Revit, which greatly enhanced the coordination of the design. 3-dimensional models were also useful for communication with the Owner and potential tenants, as it enabled them to visualize the design without needing to understand technical drawings.
Our Virtual Reality capabilities were utilized on this project to explore the more important spaces in the building; using relatively simple plug-in and add-on software, we used VR as a design tool during the development of the space, and again with finishes.
Sustainable Design features of this 4-story building include: a high-performing building envelope, less than 40% glazed area; optimized for orientation, and a zoned mechanical system for minimum operating costs.
