Tall Tree Physiotherapy Clinic

This single storey, 4,982 sq.ft. physiotherapy clinic and ceramics studio complements
the existing services provided by Mattick’s Market. Designed by LEED accredited
professionals, this project incorporates a wide range of sustainable features as
fundamental components of its central concept. Its curvilinear “V” shape was
conceived to minimally disturb existing mature trees, while its granite rock cladding
utilizes materials local to the site. The monolithic roof is comprised of cross laminated
timber, harvested and manufactured in BC. The project has an EnerGuide 89 rating
and includes a variety of supplementary sustainable components. The interior of
the building features recycled content materials and low VOC finishes, LED lighting
on dimmers, energy efficient HVAC heat recovery, programmable control for HVAC
and low flow fixtures. Exterior sun shading, operable windows for natural ventilation
and an optimized pan configuration for daylight and views decrease the building’s
dependence on active heating and ventilation systems, while the integration of new
rain gardens into the existing landscaping decreases storm water run-off.
