b'MEMBER PROFILEPROJECTSWhen asked about projects the company is proud of, Knox responds, Probably in the recent past, the Stack building in downtown Vancouver has been one of our recent successes. Its unique design challenged our high-rise installation norms. The Stack, designed by architect James Cheng and considered by the architect to be one of his favourite designs, looks like a number of large boxes stacked on top of each other. With different sized boxes to contend with, the IGA engineering and installation crew found their standard approaches did not always apply and were very pleased with the result of their work. The building is 550,000 square feet and meets the zero-carbon standard.INLAND GLASS Another project IGA is proud of is Burrard Place on Hornby Street in Vancouver.
