The Construction Source

THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA Recently, Studio 531 Architects has delivered a number of large-scale projects, both in the public and private sectors. In the private sector, a notable example is the new Oakcrest Headquarters in Langford, which is the client’s first mass timber office building. Jesse says that job – which is still under construction – required “a lot of intense planning,” and a lot of “close collaboration between the design team, the construction team, and the logistics team,” but that the result so far is “a very special project.” “That building has a real special quality,” he says. “I think everyone’s very happy with how it’s taking shape.” In the public sector, meanwhile, Studio 531 has a number of large-scale affordable housing projects in the works.
