Issued For Construction AD: Nilton Forest - Office of Sustainable Design & Architecture (OSDA)

Nilton Forest is a licensed architect, Passive House consultant (PHIUS), and the founder of osda (Office for Sustainable Design Architecture), based in Saint John, New Brunswick. Raised in Taipei, Taiwan, by his mother, Nilton spent much of his formative years in the company of English neighbours from Carlisle who were visiting academics conducting research at the National Palace Museum. That early immersion shaped both his accent and his outlook in ways that stayed with him well into adulthood. Nilton studied chemistry at Tunghai University in Taiwan before switching disciplines and earning his degree in architecture from the same institution. Following graduation, he completed an internship with Claus en Kaan Architecten in Amsterdam, a Dutch firm that has since separated into two independent practices, and contributed to the conversion of a historic building into what is now a well known hotel and cultural destination along Amsterdam's waterfront. After fulfilling his mandatory military service in Taiwan, he built experience across multiple firms and countries before relocating to Saint John to be with his partner and put down roots in New Brunswick. Nilton spent a year as Heritage Architect for the City of Saint John before launching osda, which today stands as the first and only architecture firm in Saint John accredited with the PHIUS passive house consultant credential. In nearly three years of independent practice, he has completed more than 41 projects spanning residential, multi family, heritage conservation, and community development work. He lives outside the city on a 40 acre property with 30 acres of forested trail behind it. ⁠⁠Office of Sustainable Design & Architecture (OSDA)⁠⁠ (https://www.osda.ca/) Next Release: Vanessa Eckstein - BLOK Design (https://blokdesign.com/#/) Sponsors: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caplan's Appliances⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://caplans.ca/) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Doors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://thedoors4u.com/⁠) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aquanta Pools⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://aquanta.ca) To connect with our sponsors, email me: [email protected] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Issued For Construction⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (www.issuedforconstruction.ca)
