Million – 29,000 sq.ft.
Office
spaces, restaurant on the main level, and residential units above are combined
in this building which achieves the difficult task of sitting comfortably on a
sloping corner site. Creative
landscaping forms a petite public space at the corner with an outdoor fireplace
that invites people to linger. Muted
colours and natural materials including wood, concrete and stone are
appropriate to the rugged west-coast context.
The restaurant and residential units feature views to Clayoquot Sound.
