APRIL 2025 they validate the company’s mission to build structures that stand the test of time. For Raphael, sustainable building is not only about reducing their environmental footprint; it’s also about redefining what quality means in modern construction. In his view, the old ways of building, which focus on short-term returns, are no longer acceptable. “It’s going to be devastating if we keep building the old school way,” he warns. This philosophy permeates every aspect of HSS Design Build’s work, from the careful selection of non-toxic, natural materials to the use of advanced construction techniques that ensure each home performs exactly as designed. Raphael’s vision for the future is ambitious and clear. He is determined to accelerate the shift toward energy-efficient construction practices in Canada, making sustainable building more affordable and accessible to a broader public. His goal is not merely to construct buildings but to lay the groundwork for a healthier, more resilient environment. “Our goal is to accelerate the change—the transition to sustainable and energy-efficient construction practices,” he asserts. By focusing on long-term value rather than immediate returns, Raphael and his team are paving the way for a future where every building contributes to a reduction in emissions and a healthier planet.
