Award Criteria

Green Building

The building was designed around natural elements, such as natural light and airflow. A big part of this design was to utilize electricity blackouts as a way to manage comfort.

Technical Innovation & Sustainability

The simplicity and strength of our building allow you to focus on the clients' community. One nave allows members, visitors, and area residents to easily access all rooms of the building in a straightforward motion. The neutral colour scheme is designed to allow Congo’s natural environment to be part of your aesthetics while big windows keep things light and airy until they need to be opened

Cost Effectiveness

The client and project team utilized Stack's supply chain of over 5000 vetted providers to fit out the rooms with as much FF&E as possible. This approach allowed the client and project team to leverage the Stack's supply chain, controlling cost, providing a maximumly standardized look and feel of the client's buildings, and providing significant budget predictability.
