The Edge是一栋10层高的办公楼，建在一块15米宽的土地上，拥有加拿大最大的太阳能墙之一。它的560块光伏板提供了大楼80%的电力需求。建筑物与城市电网相连，在阳光充足的日子里，多余的电力可以回流。设计采用了隔热的三层玻璃和四层玻璃系统。开放式楼板由舒适的北方日光自然采光。北面的窗户不需要百叶窗，建筑在夏季几乎不需要人工照明。建筑两端设有大型热隔离阳台和太阳能屏风来控制阳光。

The Edge, a 10 storey office building, built on a single 15m wide lot, features one of Canada’s largest solar walls. Its 560 photovoltaic panels provide 80% of the building’s electrical requirements. The building is connected to the city’s power grid, returning excess power on sunny days. The design incorporates both insulated triple-glazed and quadruple-glazed systems. The open floor plates are naturally lit by comfortable north daylight. The north windows require no blinds and the building requires little artificial light during the summer months. The ends of the building feature large thermally-separated balconies and solar screens to control sunlight.

该项目七层为私人教育设施，顶层两层为私人办公空间。底层与街道接触，在开放的大厅里有不断变化的弹出式用途。18个地下停车位可通过隔壁的公寓停车场进入，消除了在地面上建立一个破坏性坡道的需要。

The development contains private educational facilities throughout seven floors and private office space on the top two levels. The ground floor engages the street with changing pop-up uses in the open lobby. Eighteen underground parking spaces are accessed through the condominium apartment parkade next door, eliminating the need for a disruptive ramp at ground level.

太阳能墙提供了可持续的好处，是类似填充条件的原型。在这里，南边相邻的建筑是一个最近被重新利用的仓库（也是由Dub建筑事务所设计），预计50年内不会重新开发。然而，太阳能墙的投资回收期只有5-8年，这使得该原型在类似地点具有很高的可行性。该太阳能墙每年将节省26吨二氧化碳进入大气。

The solar wall provides sustainable benefits and is a prototype for similar infill conditions. Here, the adjacent building to the south is a recently repurposed warehouse (also by Dub Architects) with no anticipated redevelopment for 50 years. However, the solar wall has a payback period of only 5-8 years, making the prototype highly feasible in comparable locations. The solar wall will save 26 tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere annually.

灵活的内部楼板可容纳开放式规划，或沿北墙设置多达10间封闭式办公室。极简主义的内部设计使建筑成本非常低。热泵和照明从沿核心的下垂式天花板上提供服务，使混凝土天花板不受阻碍地暴露出来，方便拆除。空气管道沿梁供应，地板上的电源插座由浇筑混凝土地板内的管道提供。

The flexible interior floor plate accommodates open planning or up to 10 enclosed offices along the north wall. Minimalist interiors kept construction costs very low. Heat pumps and lighting serviced from the dropped ceiling along the core allow for an unobstructed exposed concrete ceiling, convenient for demising. Air ducts are supplied along the beams and electrical floor outlets are served by ducts within the poured concrete floor.
