Graceful Geometries of Residence Protected from Thermal Bridging
Chelsea by Cressey Development Group, a 79-unit, six-story residential project on 4675 Cambie St., combines verdant surroundings with high-end amenities, resulting in strong pre-construction sales.
Its segmented and cantilevered design, however, posed challenges in energy management. One of the ways the design, engineering and construction teams met the City of Vancouver’s new stringent energy requirements was by using structural thermal breaks to prevent thermal bridging at balconies, eyebrows, parapets and planter walls.
