When phase one of the new main terminal at Portland International Airport (PDX) opens, it will be the first major airport in the US with a mass timber roof.

ZGF and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center developed and illustrated an original comic book to educate families and staff about the novel spectral lighting system in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

ZGF and the University of Washington Applied Research Consortium (ARC) have released Lark Spectral Lighting v3.0.

ZGF, in collaboration with the University of Washington, has released an updated, peer-reviewed version of the Lark Spectral Lighting tool.

As interest in and demand for mass timber accelerates, and recent code changes allow for mass timber in taller buildings, developers are exploring mass timber solutions for high-rise residential structures. Many of mass timber’s benefits, including its lower carbon footprint, are well-documented but considerably less information is available to accurately analyze the cost of a mass timber building.

Adaptive reuse of downtown real estate, where there’s a high density of properties ripe for transition to net-zero, is one of many solutions to decarbonize our existing building stock. Our winning proposal for the Seattle 2030 District Energy Roadmap competition shows how.
