Queen's Park Sportsplex
New Westminster, BC
Replacing the Arenex, a well loved multi-sport facility that had become unsafe for use, this project located in Queen’s Park became the City’s first CaGBC Net Carbon Zero project. You can still find the memories of the Arenex in the reclaimed timbers used at the entry and reception.
Moodyville Park Building
Summer 2020
North Vancouver, BC
A crown jewel in North Vancouver’s new park system, Moodeyville Park has it all and yet maintains all its North Shore gloriousness.

City of Vancouver CityLab

Vancouver, BC
511 West Broadway – CityLab – is the City of Vancouver’s primary public engagement touchpoint and is a reimaginign of how public engagement happens.

South Surrey Operations Centre
July 2018
Surrey, BC
Designed to straddle the demands of dirty boots and business casual sneakers, the SSOC is the kind of place where the messy work of city making really happens. The building is durable in the extreme but refined generous. But the cleverist thing about the building is the siting strategy, which deftly conjures a public park from a gravel parking lot.
