Architects The challenges of the existing urban context and street density, real t orientation as precedent to a Net Zero Overlay were considered by the team as an opportunity to challenge the performance of a building in a real city situation, with real city density, real overshadowing and a diverse community of occupants. A design team including architect, client, mechanical, electrical and structural engineer worked collaboratively to create spaces where the energy demand for the interior activities was minimized through careful attention to building orientation, envelope design and systems integration.
