SustainabilityCenter ofMontreal[Interior Design VI: Final Design]

We recognize the term sustainability. We’ve heard it before in conversations, in news articles and ecofriendly products. We associate it with reusing, recycling, green and alternative energy, but how does it affectus? How does it work? What is it made of?The Sustainability Center of Montreal is a learning center for those curious minds or for those who wish to influence their lifestyle. It treats environmental issues through interactive activites such as an interactive exhibiton where people can touch, feel and under-stand what sustainability is. A green room where people can finally understand whyvegetation is important in sustainability, it cleans our air, it purifies our water and can generate electricity.

All of the materials have been conciously chosen; Carpets are recyclable & have natural fibers. The concrete floorremains throughout the space, eliminating extra materials.

The semi frosted glass gives a minimum of privacy for the lawyers, but still allows a maximum amount of sunlight into the office space.
