At Light House, we have a mission – to create regenerative built environments that nurture ecological and human health.
WHO WE ARE
Leading the shift to a circular, regenerative built environment
Light House works with industry, government and communities to change how buildings are designed, built and reused. We take circular and regenerative practices from pilot projects into the mainstream of Canadian construction.
Rethinking Waste
We treat every material as a resource. Our programs keep building materials in use, storing their embodied carbon for another lifetime.
FOUR PILLARS
Designing for Regeneration
We help teams go beyond sustainability and toward building practices that restore ecosystems and support the health of the people inside them.
Scaling Innovation
Through pilots, policy research, and projects, we prove solutions and help them reach both market and jobsite.
Connecting the System
We bring together contractors, developers, governments and innovators to move the industry forward together.
