The Union, Canada
Lumon’s collaborative approach with developers in the design phase
The Union was the first concrete project completed in the area, and the 3rd project completed with Mattamy Homes. At Lumon, the development of relationships with developers, architects, project managers and the like is crucial in the completion of collaborative projects.
Especially in regard to The Union, an exciting component has been the ongoing ‘non-transactional’ relationship between Lumon and the developer. These relationships of trust enable long-term succession planning and working together to maximize usability of city homes.
- Building address: Brampton, Ontario
- Building type: New
- Developer/Builder: Mattamy Homes
- Architect: Q4 Architects
- Units with Lumon glazing: 135
Working closely with Lumon in the building phase enables all involved parties to be a part of the design process, which makes for efficient installation possibilities, as Lumon’s concept is implemented from the very beginning. This is what made project management and installation go smoothly in the coming together of The Union, as well!
