Vancouver, BC — Stephane Laroye Architect (SLA), a Mount Pleasant–based firm focused on sustainable, low-carbon design and mass timber buildings across B.C., has set up shop in a mass timber building. Founded in 2016 by urban planner and architect Stephane Laroye, the studio works across everything from master planning and infrastructure to multi-family, mixed-use and single-family housing. A throughline across the portfolio: engineered wood. …SLA’s own office—located inside Vancouver’s On5 building—uses timber panels throughout and is designed to Passive House standards by Vancouver-based Timber Engineering. Much of the structure was prefabricated off-site, allowing for faster installation than conventional construction methods.
