Punched windows echo architecture of surrounding buildings and maintain an overall window-to-wall ratio of 40%. A south curtainwall mitigates the building’s mass and scale on the streetscape while showcasing mass timber interiors to passersby. Image Credit: Double Space Photography

80 shares a courtyard beer garden with 60 Atlantic, inviting both tenants and neighbours to enjoy the site beyond work hours. Image Credit: Double Space Photography

A 60ft long mural lines the north facade walkway, giving the neighbourhood a well-lit laneway connection between Atlantic and Jefferson Avenues. Image Credit: Salina Kassam

The project includes only the requisite car parking and exceeds the suggested bicycle spaces, which includes covered parking. Supergraphics lead cyclists down a ramp into the bike storage area, complete with shower amenities. Image Credit: Salina Kassam

Thermal modelling and a thermal comfort study was done, with high performance glazing installed. Air tightness testing verified that the building exceeded the Washington State target infiltration rate, achieving a rate of 0.32cfm/ft2 @75 Pa. Image Credit: Double Space Photography

Wood is the primary structural material at 80 Atlantic. It is a renewable, sustainable, local resource that enables faster, quieter and safer construction as well as a beautiful, adaptable and healthy environment. Wood sequesters carbon and avoids the emissions produced by standard structural materials. Image Credit: Double Space Photography

Tenants and visitors are drawn into 80 Atlantic via the sunken courtyard, with the vision that the space acts as a third space for community interaction. Image Credit: Salina Kassam

80 Atlantic’s total annual energy consumption is 150 KWhr/m2, with 104KWh/m2 for the base load and 46KWh/ m2 for the process loads. The building’s energy savings stem from an energy recovery ventilator with 88% sensible recovery serving the RTUs, and condensing boilers with a thermal seasonal efficiency of 90%.
