Armstrong Industrial — DAO | Algorithmic & Timber Architecture

Armstrong Industrial
Sudbury, Ontario

Extensive renovations and new interventions were key aspects of this project, with the intent to maintain as much of the building’s original integrity as possible. Thorough renovations included new roof and wall cladding, additional windows, and interior layout modifications, while the new construction of a defined front entrance structure, loading bay addition, exterior loading ramp with foundation underpinning, and garbage enclosure were integrated into the existing project.

While these interventions were originally prepared for an unknown future tenant, the leasing of the space to Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore added interior fit-up work to the design scope. As a hub for the sustainable rehabilitation of existing goods, this renewed building will continue to reflect Habitat’s ethos for years to come.
