For World Environment Day, we're revisiting a conversation that fits the occasion. In episode 123 of Detailed, Cherise sits down with Paul Kariouk of Kariouk Architects to talk through the m.o.r.e. CLT cabin in Wakefield, Quebec.

Instead of clearing the site and settling in like a typical lakeside retreat, the cabin lifts off the ground entirely. A mast and floor plate foundation lets it hover above the landscape with a minimal footprint, leaving the terrain underneath largely untouched. It's a genuinely different take on what a cottage can be, and a good example of building with the land rather than over it.

Worth a listen if you're thinking about how design decisions translate into real environmental impact.

Partner Spotlight: Wooster Products

Press Releases | NITEGLOW® and AlumoGrit® Safety Solutions

Wooster Products continues to lead in anti-slip stair and walkway safety with two standout product lines. NITEGLOW® photoluminescent technology lights the way through darkened environments while improving footing, making it ideal for emergency exit pathways. By combining long-lasting photoluminescent epoxy filler with nearly diamond-hard aluminum oxide crystals, it delivers a glow-in-the-dark surface with sure footing across the entire step, even when wet, and meets NYC Local Law 26, 2024 IBC, and 2024 IFC code compliance.

For the toughest environments, AlumoGrit® abrasive cast aluminum treads, platforms, and thresholds resist most chemicals and corrosives while significantly increasing the coefficient of friction. Proven in water treatment plants, chemical processing facilities, parking garages, and high-traffic transit stations, they feature abrasive grit integrally cast into the surface, clean cross-hatching, and concealed anchors.

ARCAT is proud to partner with manufacturers like Wooster Products who bring safety, performance, and code compliance together where it matters most.
