PASSAGE HOUSE, Mass Timber Rapid Housing Pilot

We completed the prefabricated Passage House, for R-Hauz, in just 7 months. Located in the Town of East Gwillimbury, The Passage House is a brand-new transitional housing shelter under York region’s and the Blue Door Shelter Program. It was built in partnership with Jackman Ltd and Element5, using mass timber. The two-storey 18 unit building is highly sustainable, thermally efficient, and features exposed wood throughout the build to promote health and wellness.

BLENDTEK INGREDIENTS

Blendtek Ingredients, a leader in ingredient solutions and product development, trusted Jackman Construction & Drywall with their newly constructed 85,000 square foot headquarters in Cambridge, Ontario. The new building houses Blendtek's head office, their manufacturing and distribution facilities, and a new Research & Development Lab and Test Kitchen to focus on growing food categories including plant-based, gluten-free and sugar-reduced products, just to name a few. For employee use, the building features a wellness and fitness area, multiple outdoor patios and collaboration rooms.

*While we did assist with all of the interior building components, at the client’s request we do not have interior photos available due to privacy concerns. Some interior elements can be seen in the time lapse links below.

One Young Street

Building with wood isn’t a new idea. What is new is the technology that allows the use of wood for the structure on a commercial scale. Canadian wood from Canadian trees are turned into glulam columns and nail laminated timber (NLT) panels by Timmerman Timberworks at their Ontario facility, resulting in an exceptional building that combines the natural warmth and beauty of wood with the technology and conveniences you expect in a modern workspace. One Young Street is the first new Mass Timber building in Waterloo Region.

All the benefits of a century Brick and Beam building—exposed wood, tall ceilings, the character and charm of loft space— but modern, with none of the complications of an older structure.

One Young Street.  A unique environment in KW’s prime location.
