Illumination Contributes to Progressive Townhall’s “Building of the Future”
La Pêche (Quebec, Canada) has constructed a new townhall that was designed for the future. The dramatic two-story structure is comprised of solid wood, both inside and out, and presents an impressive facade on the main street of the community. And it incorporates the latest innovations in sustainable construction. With its forthcoming Passivhaus certification – an international standard that guarantees optimal energy efficiency – it will be the first Passivhaus-certified institutional building in the province of Quebec. The municipality wanted this building to not only be a positive work environment for its employees, but also a welcoming and accessible space for local citizens. It features various functional spaces, including a council chamber, administrative offices, and a large multi-media room.
