Project Programme
A 1500 square metre building comprised of offices and council chambers for the Town of Banff. The programme required the resolution of a complex organisation of internal spaces, within the urban design context of the establishment of a 'town centre' on a key site in the Town of Banff.
Project Concept
The site is west of Banff Avenue, on the axial terminus of Lynx and Bear Streets. The building is a two story office building located above an underground parkade. The building is designed to form an intimate public square, with a circulation arcade defining the edge between the interior and exterior spaces. An interior circulation corridor parallels the arcade, visually connecting the outside to the inside of the Town Hall, and enhances the internal flow of the building. The Council Chamber is located on the termination of the Lynx Street axis, completing a historic plan that began with the railway station at the opposite end. The public square and adjacent green park are bisected by an open loggia at grade level, directly above which is the Mayor's office.
