Project Summary
This Multi-Tenant building will be constructed not far from the Fraser River in a park developed by Intrawest in Coquitlam, BC. The building will be two storey constructed of tilt-up concrete walls, wood floors, steel roof and aluminum glazing system. The total area of the project is 6600 m2. The building will also have two bays which will accomodate semi-trailer loading.
The imagery is intentional from two standpoints. First, the close proximity to the Fraser River offers opportunities to capture the image of marine/industrial elements that were once so prominent in this area of the lower mainland. Secondly, from a traditional viewpoint, these types of building have often been relegated to the lowest form of architecture, devoid of any design. This is an opportunity to transcend the mundane and rise above the pallatte of mediocrity that comes with this form of architecture.
