KPMB Launches Manitoba Hydro Place

Consortium launches www.manitobahydroplace.com to showcase the Integrated Design Process and track the performance of the building according to the original goals of supportive work place, energy performance/sustainable design, architectural excellence, urban revitalization, and fiscal performance.

V51 Consulting was hired to develop the web strategy, information architecture and implement a content management solution. The consortium required a simple solution to keep this website up to date.

Canadian firms, KPMB Architects and Smith Carter Architects + Engineers, and German climate engineering experts, Transsolar of Stuttgart, Germany, have come together to form an Integrated Design Consortium. Combining award-winning architecture, world-renowned climate engineering and technical expertise, the Consortium will leverage the innovations of Manitoba Hydro Place and lessons of the Integrated Design Process to assist organizations in building climate responsive, green buildings that prioritize human comfort and contribute to building vibrant cities.

Manitoba Hydro Place is a 23-storey, energy-efficient building on Winnipeg’s Portage Avenue and it earned the best tall building in the Americas award from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).
