We are honoured to share that The Hive was awarded an 2026 Structural Award by The Institute of Structural Engineers at last week’s gala in London.
Designed in close collaboration with Dialog, The Hive (Vancouver, BC) was recognized for advancing resilient, low-carbon tall timber construction in a seismic region. Through an all-timber lateral system that eliminates the need for a traditional concrete core, and integrating mass timber with advanced self-centering seismic technology, the project demonstrates how engineering innovation can advance sustainable and resilient building design, paving the way for future timber buildings.
We are grateful to have been among the exceptional projects represented at this year’s awards, and to share in the success of The Hive with the many collaborators who made this project possible.

What does it take to push the boundaries of timber construction in a high seismic region?
Take a closer look at the design journey behind The Hive, and the collaboration between @dialogdesign and Fast + Epp that brought together architectural expression, environmental stewardship, and advanced timber and seismic engineering.

As Principal and Director of Research and Development, Carla Dickof has been advancing research, testing, and innovation at Fast + Epp for well over a decade. With more than 15 years of experience working on building projects across a range of materialities and a particular expertise in mass timber, she brings a deep understanding of structural systems through concept and research into practical application. Her technical insights help to shape and advance the firm’s many explorations in structural innovation through the Fast + Epp Concept Lab.
Working collaboratively with academic institutions and industry partners, she leads research that helps develop and validate solutions to improve the built environment. Her work translates questions directly into evidence that pushes emerging design approaches forward and advances industry knowledge through academic publications, conferences, technical guides, and her participation on the Technical Committee for the Canadian Standard for Engineering Design in Wood.
For Carla, research is a way to translate discovery into a better way of building today and in the future. She sees the future of Fast + Epp as one where curiosity remains central to practice, with her leadership in R&D helping challenge convention and continually advancing the possibilities of structural engineering.

"it is a rare case of architecture, structural engineering, and acoustics arriving at a single, unified formal move, rather than three disciplines compromising toward one." writes Stacey McLachlan, for Canadian Architect's latest issue.
Freedom Mobile Arch is featured as the November 2026 cover story. Learn about the conception and process of bringing this one of a kind amphitheatre to life for Vancouver - with brand new images from @emaphotographi.

We are pleased to share that the BCIT Tall Timber Student Housing has received an Award of Excellence at last week’s 2026 ACEC National Awards.
The 12-storey mass timber tower features a CLT point-supported structure, consisting of CLT floors supported on steel HSS columns. The structure was strategically designed, using columns and wide-format panels to allow for unobstructed units, preserving open and functional room layouts. The use of prefabricated CLT panels contributed to an accelerated construction schedule, supported BCIT’s sustainability goals, and answered the call for greener student housing.
Fast + Epp is proud to have worked with many collaborators to deliver sustainable student housing for BCIT’s Burnaby campus.
Congratulations to the client and the entire project team!

The new Parkinson Recreation Centre is taking shape in Kelowna!
The wave-shaped mass timber gymnasium roof is nearing completion, with the hybrid timber-and-steel trusses in place and installation of the cross-laminated timber panels almost finished.
Inspired by the surrounding landscape and waterways, the roof gently rises and falls along the length of the gymnasium, creating a generous, column-free space for sports, recreation and community events. Exposed mass timber brings natural warmth and character to the interior while also contributing to the reduction of embodied carbon.
More than three times the size of the existing facility, the new Parkinson Recreation Centre will create a welcoming community hub, expanding opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to stay active, connect and come together.

Halloween festivities were in full swing at Fast + Epp this year with our annual pumpkin carving contest and costume competition.
Earlier this week, teams put their skills to the test transforming pumpkins through their imaginative designs. The results showcased a wide range of artistry, Halloween spirit, and one-of-a-kind creations.
The costume contest was equally exciting, with plenty of costumes seen across our offices. The competition was strong this year, from unique solo costumes to standout group and pet costumes.
Swipe through to see the highlights!

The New Indigenous Law Wing, an expansion of the University of Victoria’s Fraser Building, was designed to support Indigenous culture and knowledge sharing, and is home to the world’s first joint Indigenous and common-law degree program.
Through an architectural collaboration between @tworowarchitect, @teeplearchitects, and @lhrarchitects, the building draws inspiration from the Coast Salish world with an emphasis on natural light and materials.
To promote sustainability and the architectural vision of the building, the primary gravity system consists of a mix of point-supports three-metre-wide CLT billets directly on the densely placed columns. Wood logs harvested from the site itself are used in a variety of locations throughout the building, but most notably in main atrium space where there are double height peeled Douglas Fir logs, creating the feel of a forest within a forest.
The trees that were downed to make way for the expansion building were blessed by Elders and assessed for use, with 19 of these trees selected as sufficiently strong enough to be cured for a year and a half, and then repurposed within the new building.

Fast + Epp is proud to stand alongside 58 signatory and supporter organizations in the Responsible Buildings Pact, an initiative of the Climate Smart Buildings Alliance (CSBA), bringing together stakeholders across the building and construction sector to accelerate the adoption of lower-carbon solutions.
The Pact's 2025-26 Annual Report is now out, and it shows what's possible when the construction industry works together to make lower carbon materials the default.
