13650 102nd Ave Surrey, BC

The proposed development is on a corner site located in the CBD area of the City of Surrey. The site is conveniently accessible by private vehicle and public transportation (bus and sky-train). The development comprises a single storey commercial building providing office and retail space of approximately 1,130 and 300 sm respectively. Parking is provided on-site in excess of the bylaw requirements. The new building is positioned at the road intersection corner of the site. This stems from the requirement to achieve at the same time the most efficient site and parking layout, façade visibility to the street and direct sidewalk access for the tenants and general public. The building's appearance is intended to be contemporary, clearly expressing its functions and structure. Construction type and materials are chosen for reasons of performance, quality, sustainability and durability (e.g. steel frame and decking, tilt-up concrete wall, curtain wall glazing, thermoplastic roofing membrane, polyiso insulation, FSC wood). Energy efficiency is pursued in the use of geothermal energy for the mechanical heating and cooling systems, the use of energy efficient electrical fixtures, daylight lighting control, improved envelope design and insulation, reduced glazing and sun shading. The latter is addressed through recessed windows and cedar wood-slatted sunscreens to the critical facades. Other implementations of note in the pursuance of a LEED Gold certification are landscape maximization, heat island effect reduction, bio-swale filtration and the use of water efficient plumbing fixtures.
