Project Features

SIREWALLs were selected as the facade facing busy Oak Street in Vancouver, and help to create the impression that this is no ordinary building.

Designed by Perkins & Will, the project targets LEED Platinum and Living Building Challenge environmental building standards.

The SIREWALLs vary in curvature and in height, with insulation and mass helping to achieve the green targets.
