Form Collective Among Team Awarded 'Embodied Carbon Awards' at Carbon Leadership Forum
Six trailblazers have been recognized for their work in reducing embodied carbon in British Columbia’s built environment at the third annual Embodied Carbon Awards.
The award was issued for turning a 117-year-old Vancouver home into three net-zero dwellings—a truly innovative retrofit that sets a national example for low-carbon urban living. Their use of salvaged materials, carbon-storing insulation, and commitment to community partnerships and knowledge-sharing made this project a standout in sustainable construction.

Form Collective Featured In The Province
Bathroom makeovers: Reimagined ensuites showcase stunning design
Top designers share reimagined spaces
“Design with you in mind.” This mantra guides interior designers Josephina Serra and Lauren Webb, who’ve partnered since 2015 as Form Collective.
Design Report: The clients’ wishes for the primary ensuite in their Whistler townhouse were crystal clear: Incorporate unique design elements to modernize and simplify the space, keep accessibility in mind and steer clear of the typical Whistler chateau vibe.
Serra and Webb used a warm, grey, Japanese stoneware mosaic tile to form a dramatic backdrop. It elongates the wall mirror framed in the same light wood as the vanity with an added layer of pendant lights. It’s a shared bathroom, so wall-mounted faucets over undermount sinks create more countertop space.
A curbless walk-in shower provides easy access in case of potential sports injuries—a thoughtful touch, given the recreation aspect of this vacation home.
