The Pump House is a mixed-use, three-phased development on Waterfront Drive in the east Exchange District in Downtown Winnipeg. A recipient of the 2018 Canadian Architect Award of Merit, this project involves the unique challenge of retrofitting historic water pump buildings into commercial and residential spaces.
The skip-stop corridor strategy has elevators that stop on every second floor to provide a more efficient layout that cuts the circulation space in half and allows for cross-ventilation in all units. To maximize the efficiency, Southern Comfort Mechanical In.c installed air source Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) technology to move heat from spaces requiring cooling into spaces requiring heating.
