alberta avenue

Our little facade upgrade project on 118th Avenue is moving forward quickly.  “Our” building is a 1970’s era former government office building, built of post + beam construction with some lovely angled gluelam beams/columns.  It was very unfortunately clad in masonry stucco which showed the effects of cladding not meant to perform as a roof finish. 

Our design has had the building stripped to the structure and reclad in plywood, membrane, rigid insulation + galvanized corrugated steel.  The front facade and deep entry recesses are to be finished with mosaic tile – some of which is up and demonstrating a lovely pixelated effect…Progress pictures for your perusal.
