Vancouver


Integral Group’s Vancouver design studio champions the use of the most innovative and sustainable systems, which have been incorporated into award-winning, high-performance buildings across the lower mainland. The Vancouver team moved into their current space in 2010, and the tenant improvement redesign project earned two honors from the Interior Design Institute of British Columbia (IDIBC). The open space office houses over 100 team members focused on delivering  high quality, expert advice in green building system design and energy engineering across a range of industries.

Located in the downtown core, floor-to-ceiling windows and low panels wrap the space to maximize vistas of the oceanfront and north shore mountain. Designed with sustainability in mind, a focus on daylight harvesting reduces energy consumption, and custom plywood lighting fixture in the reception area speaks to light and air.
