Ædifica is proud to announce that its offices, located at 407 McGill in Montreal, have obtained WELL Platinum and LEED Platinum certifications, the highest levels of recognition for occupant health and well-being and building environmental performance.

Ædifica was responsible for the entire design of the project, seamlessly integrating architecture and interior design, electromechanical engineering, sustainable development strategies, and the implementation of an integrated design process (IDP). This cross-functional approach optimized the quality of the interior environments, occupant comfort, energy efficiency, and responsible material selection.

This project is a concrete illustration of Ædifica's vision of sustainable and responsible architecture, where human well-being, technical rigor, and reducing the environmental footprint are inseparable, right in the heart of downtown Montreal.

« This double certification reflects our belief that environmental performance and occupant well-being must go hand in hand. Our offices are a living laboratory that demonstrates how it is possible to combine technical rigor, human comfort, and environmental responsibility while creating inspiring work environments. »

Maude Pintal

Director sustainable development

« Obtaining WELL and LEED Platinum certifications is the result of close collaboration between the architecture, design, and engineering teams. It demonstrates that an integrated approach, based on rigorous technical choices and a clear vision, makes it possible to achieve high levels of performance while meeting the real needs of occupants. »

A sustainable, integrated, and high-performance approach

At Ædifica, sustainable development and energy performance are part of our DNA. As pioneers in integrating sustainable practices into architecture and engineering, we design projects where environmental performance, technical rigor, and quality of living environments are inseparable.

Our approach is based on integrated design, bringing together architecture, design, electromechanical engineering, and expertise in sustainable development from the earliest stages of the project. This synergy allows us to optimize energy performance, reduce environmental footprint, and ensure the comfort and well-being of occupants.

We support our clients in implementing sustainable strategies tailored to each project, whether in energy efficiency, responsible resource management, or design that promotes the health and resilience of buildings. Our teams are proficient in the main standards, including LEED, WELL, Fitwel, BCZ, Envision, True, and Sites, which they integrate in a consistent and pragmatic manner.

Through each project, Ædifica demonstrates that sustainable, high-performance, and people-centered architecture is not an option, but a responsibility—and a core value of our practice.
