fies the emerging trend of using local, sus-
tainable wood in construction and I have
no doubt this is just the beginning of a
movement throughout Atlantic Canada to
expand the innovative and creative use of
wood in design.”
With the support of innovative clientele,
a changing regulatory environment, and
vision, TEAL is on the forefront of a new
wave of buildings made with wood frames.
“Wood is attractive because it is a renew-
able resource, and incredibly strong when
used well,” says Emodi, who points to the
renaissance of wood-framed buildings in
most of Europe, and a new trend towards
wood in B.C. “We are also dedicated to in-
creasing awareness and excitement con-
cerning the new building code changes to
further enable wood design,” says Emodi.
An active member and sustainability ally
of the Ecology Action Centre, a partner
with the Credit Union Atlantic (CUA) and
the Dalhousie Transportation Collabora-
tory, TEAL values giving back to the indus-
try. From small spaces to outside-the-box,
TEAL gives each project and client dedica-
tion, passion, and a fresh perspective.
