This small community centre packs several features on a small site within a condominium townhouse community. Pool, sundeck, splash pad, playground, hot tub, exercise room, lobby, meeting room, change rooms and sauna integrate to create an effective architectural focus for the neighborhood. The expansive glass of the building creates the sensation of openness so that outdoor and indoor spaces become visually connected and enhance the sense of community. The high angled roof and the colour field murals, visible through the high glass walls, create a vibrant counterpoint to the domestic vernacular of the surrounding homes. During the dark winter months the illuminated interior spaces will be visible through the tall glass windows and light the streetscape like large-scale lanterns.
