2. Bata Shoe Factory
BATAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA
Founded in the 1890s by the Bata family, Bata Shoe Company
began creating company towns around its factories across the
globe. In 1939, just before Germany invaded Czechoslovakia,
Thomas Bata and 100 employees emigrated to set up a factory
in Canada. The factory closed in 2000 and was sold, but Thomas's
widow, Sonja, bought it back in 2005 with the goal of turning
it into a sustainable mixed-use development.
Architect of record BDP Quadrangle and collaborating design
architects Dubbeldam Architecture + Design, both of Toronto,
retained the original concrete structure, preserving 80 percent
of its embodied carbon, and added wood veneer panels to lend
visual warmth. Geothermal energy powers all of the heating,
ventilation, and cooling systems: the landscaped parking area
conceals 63 boreholes, drilled to a depth of 600 feet (180 m),
beneath it. Opened in 2019, the complex includes 47 apartments,
a children's daycare facility, exhibition and community space, multipurpose
rooms, educational facilities, a café, and retail space.
3. Beach Green Dunes II
QUEENS, NEW YORK
Rising Beach Green Dunes II is part of a larger complex of
green, affordable apartment buildings, steps away from Rockaway
Beach, in the Edgemere neighborhood of Queens. The 127
apartments occupy floors two through eight to protect them
from coastal flooding. All units are affordable to households with
incomes that do not exceed 100 percent of area median income.
Opened in 2020, the building also includes shops and outdoor
recreation areas.
A closed-loop geothermal system, tucked beneath surface
parking and a bioswale, is designed to meet all of the building's
heating and cooling needs. Each apartment has a heat pump
connected to the geothermal system, providing heating and
cooling with individual temperature control. With the help of a
tight building envelope, photovoltaic panels, and a centralized
energy recovery ventilation system, the setup enabled Beach
Green Dunes II to achieve Passive House certification. Curtis +
Ginsberg Architects of New York City designed the building for
L+M Development Partners of Larchmont, New York, and Triangle
Equities of Whitestone, New York.
