COMMUNITY

ROTARY CENTRE OF THE ARTS
(in association with Hotson Bakker Architects)


Client: City of Kelowna

Year: 2006- 2007

This project has made significant gestures to the Urban Context it sits in.
The outdoor space is an important element in making the project successful.
The project involved taking an old packing house and wrapping it with some
new spaces that have technically key functions, that were not suited to the
renovation component. One of those spaces is the Atrium which is the
circulation space as well as a hub of activity c/w with a Bistro. The Atrium is
the gateway to the building. The Art walk developed with the project in mind
creates a spine that reaches out into the community as well as highlighting
the Orchard and Wine Industry with grapes that grow on the trellis and
mosaic artwork on the concrete structure that form light posts and benches

OKANAGAN MOUTAIN FIRE PAVILION

Location: Bertram Creek Park, Kelowna, BC

Client: Regional District of Central Okanagan

Year: 2006- 2007

The pavilion is an open-air structure located on the shore of Lake Okanagan
and is open to the public year round. Local businesses and community
organizations donated time, money and material to ensure that this project
would be a success. The pavilion illustrates the devastation of the 2003
Okanagan Mountain Fire and serves a dual purpose. The structure acts as a
gathering place for public and private events. It also serves as a public
education centre to raise awareness of the impact of the Fire, the Mountain
Pine Beetle and the fragile nature of the woodland setting in which it is
situated. The design concept was conceived as a journey through the Okana-
gan Mountain Park and created a path representing the forest’s lifecycle,
naturally occurring environmental impacts and the resulting rejuvenation of
the forest. Its focus is on the surrounding environment and treats the struc-
ture as an integral part of the forest. The pavilion functions in unison with
nature and the structure is fully engaged with the landscape.
