Architects: Busby + Associates, Vancouver, B.C.
The headquarters for British Columbia engineers was designed by Busby + Associates. The steel frame building uses extensive daylighting, combined with shading devices to control direct solar penetration into the offices. A large garden at the front of the building uses indigenous plants and provides an outside meeting space for employees.
