Happy Earth Day! 🌎 Today, we want to reflect on our projects that highlight our values in creating #sustainable and #regenerative spaces for our communities. Take a look at how we applied our design choices in these 3 projects: The Joyce Centre at Mohawk College, Library and Archives of Canada Gatineau 2, and our very own #Toronto studio! #EarthDay #SustainableDesign #RegenerativeDesign #Architecture #InteriorDesign #sustainabilitygoals #environmentalimpact #greenfuture

As part of the Plenary PCL Health Consortium, B+H, in association with Arcadis, is leading the design for the significant expansion of the QEII Halifax Infirmary in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This multi-campus teaching and research institution is undergoing the largest healthcare infrastructure project in Atlantic Canada. The design, which aims for #LEEDSilver certification, aligns with Nova Scotia Health's core values. It focuses on improving access to quality care and creating people-centred healing environments for patients and staff. B+H is responsible for the design of critical clinical areas, including the Operating Rooms (OR), Emergency Department, and Medical Device Reprocessing (MDR), as well as the overall building architecture. This project is a collaborative effort, delivered with the support of the QEII Healthcare Consortium, which includes Plenary PCL Health, Nova Scotia Health, Build Nova Scotia, and the Province of Nova Scotia. #NovaScotia #Halifax #HalifaxHealthcare #HealthcareArchitecture

We were deeply inspired to attend and support this year's Indspire Soaring with Architecture49 Inc., the largest gathering of its kind in Indspire's history! Canada Place in British Columbia became a hub of empowerment as thousands of Indigenous youth from across Canada came together for two days of transformative workshops, inspiring talks, and vibrant celebration. We spoke to students who are passionate about design and want to build the future of their communities. Many asked about career paths leading to architecture and interior design, and students explored renderings, 3D models, and interior design samples to understand the #CreativeProcess. The students also had the opportunity to hear an engaging presentation by Warren Schmidt, offering valuable insights into what it means to be an architect and designer. A special thank you to Kim Szeto, Kathy Bayat, and Rumaiza R. for their invaluable support at our booth, helping to inspire the attendees. #IndspireSoaring #IndigenousYouth #Architecture #Empowerment #CommunityBuilding #ArchitectureandDesign #RealImpact #Education

Construction is progressing remarkably well, and B+H Architects is proud to collaborate with ZHUBO DESIGN and 3XN/GXN on this landmark that will inspire generations to come. #RealImpactMadeTogether #Innovate #Architecture

I'm excited to share that the construction of the Shenzhen Natural History Museum has been progressing well since my last update. The team is also very excited to have received an Honour Award from World Landscape Architecture for the Museum design – adding another prestigious title to its list of accolades!   Rivers reflect a continuous process of evolution and growth, telling stories of our shared natural history. Taking inspiration from this, the design creates an overlap between the mountains and river to form a robust new ‘River Delta’. The landscape continues to develop this concept, seeking to reveal, in a vibrant, accessible, and impactful way, the rich natural history of the region and our place within it. https://lnkd.in/gG7Bkjxb   This recognition from WLA is a testament to our team’s multi-year commitment and collaborative efforts since 2019. By closely collaborating with clients and partners, we have been working tirelessly to retain and enhance the core design principles to ensure its successful delivery, all with a shared goal - creating a positive impact locally and globally. 3XN/GXN, ZHUBO DESIGN   Shepherding a project from early conceptual ideas to becoming a world-class destination, especially one as complex as this, is never easy, but witnessing it taking shape and gaining recognition from global communities is incredibly rewarding. I cannot wait to see its grand opening in 2026. I’ll be sharing more site photos and design stories in the coming months. Stay tuned!    SJ Group B+H Architects #RealImpactMadeTogether
