The Olympic House project began as a fundraiser for local Olympian Nick Tritton and several charities of his choosing. The nature of the project was to construct an energy-efficient, single-family home on the PerthWorks site, combining the project management expertise of the Lan-Arc Design/Build Group who would oversee the participation of local trades and Algonquin College.
