2016 - 2018 / Beaumont, AB

The two buildings located side by side within the commercial centre were designed under guidelines to express Beaumont’s French Village character as well as promote a pedestrian-oriented retail use. Details such as steeply pitched and mansard roofs, wrought-iron balconies, stone and stucco cladding, door/window surrounds, signage, and period site components were used to maintain this expression.

The north building contains ground level restaurants and cafes and two-storey residential suites above. The south building has retail shops on the main level and commercial office space on the second floor.

Renovation
2016 / Edmonton, AB

The original building was built in 1956 and features a barrel roof, supported by bowstring wood trusses spanning 80 feet.

The trusses – a common structural component employed in North America prior to the 1960s – lend the existing building its distinctive form. The complete renovation of the building will celebrate these bowstring wood trusses, showcasing them with internal illumination through a glazed building facade.

The commercial and industrial past of the building will also be recognized through the use of traditional materials and design features that recall the industrial character of the original building.

Located in the University of Alberta Hospital’s Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, the project transformed an existing storage room into a retail shop for the non-profit organization Friends of University Hospitals.

The new design features three box-framed windows to expand the space outwards into the adjacent rotunda space, while bringing in daylight from the glazed rotunda into the boutique space. The stepping of the windows provide interior display variation and echo the rotunda steps.

Addition + Renovation
2014 / Edmonton, AB

A complete renovation and addition to an existing 45-year old industrial building, provides 1100-square-metres of office and work area for a company providing radar inspection services.

Main floor functions will include meeting / library, manager’s office, open workstation area for approximately 30 persons, locker / washrooms, general shop and vehicle washbays. On the second floor, private offices, records, staff kitchen, washrooms, and shell space, will be provided.

The design was driven primarily by the functional program, limitations of the current infrastructure, requirements for vehicle parking imposed by the site zoning, and the desire for an aesthetic appropriate to the nature of the operation and the site context.
