Sooke Residence

Nestled atop a rocky-coastline-bluff, with views to the Salish Sea, this contemporary residence boasts a vast green roof that harmoniously integrates built form with a dramatic surrounding West Coast landscape.

As a Passive House certified home, this project exemplifies sustainability in every detail. Architek supplied and installed the EcoTray system, selected for its ease of transport to the site and for its excellent water retention and durability.

Design

Given the challenges of remote site access and the need to comply with strict Passive House regulations, Architek collaborated closely with the design team to select the EcoTray system for its ease of transportation.

Installation

The sedum mats, native plugs, and materials foraged from the site were carefully selected to ensure that the long-term maintenance needs of the green roof system remain minimal. Periodic checks will be conducted to ensure plants are thriving and that the water retention system is effective..

Architek Sustainable Building Products Inc BBB Business Review
Our Vancouver offices are located on the unceded and ancestral territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Swx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples, the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Swx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and has been stewarded by them since time immemorial. 

Vancouver is located on territory that was never ceded, or given up to the Crown by the Musqueam, Squamish, or Tsleil-Waututh peoples. The term unceded acknowledges the dispossession of the land and the inherent rights that Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh hold to the territory. The term serves as a reminder that Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh have never left their territories and will always retain their jurisdiction and relationships with the territory.
