Boston based DesignLAB Architects designed the World Headquarters for the International Fund for Animal Welfare(IFAW). Given the mission of the IFAW (“provide a better world for animals and people”), the challenge was to incorporate this through sustainable design.
The program distributed in 54,000sqf is arranged in three clean volumes sitting on a reclaimed brownfield site. The volumes are open to the outside, integrated with the surroundings, through transparent planes. To control the sun over these facades, a series of louvres are arranged along them as you can see on the photos.
The building received the LEED Gold Certification, validating the sustainable strategy.
Looks great . . . Reminds me a lot of something that would have been done by some QLD architects in Australia. John Mainwaring, Bark Architects etc.
looks really good… would love to find out more about how it works on a sustainable level.. would also really appreciate drawings if possible. Cheers.
Great shot with the dog admiring the view!
Epic post, I’ve just got a poodle dog to train.
