DESCRIPTION:
The proposed Aquatic center’s design proposal intends to beautify the surrounding streetscape and promote a healthy and active lifestyle in Hamilton’s downtown core. The design is a step forward in elevating the currently uninhabitable streetscape with pedestrian-friendly and accessible design interventions. This is realized through the aquatic center’s carefully programmed outdoor space. The space acts as an extension of the adjacent Gore Park. The Center’s park is shaded by an undulating timber canopy which will grab the interest of individuals passing by and invite them to explore the center’s activities. This canopy’s prominent appearance will identify the structure as a local landmark and set a precedent for future developments with its inviting communal space.

DESCRIPTION:
Nestled in the charming town of Bancroft, this innovative project aims to create a warm and welcoming community, where nature, workspaces, shopping, and amenities are all just a short stroll away. This walkable 5-minute community provides ample opportunities for residents to connect with one another and the surrounding natural environment. The project’s unifying green space and community garden serve as a focal point for community events and gatherings, fostering a strong sense of belonging and togetherness. Whether taking a leisurely walk through the verdant surroundings or attending a local event, this project invites residents to embrace the vibrant and tight-knit community of Bancroft.
The proposed shared space for this project is a community garden, supported by a neighbouring plant shop. This space is intended to increase interaction and community cooperation through collaboration and interaction with nature. This garden provides an opportunity for kids to learn more about nature and the environment. The flowers and vegetable plants produced by the gardens, beautify the neighbourhood and can potentially yield seasonal produce for the residents. The flower shop across the pedestrian street supports the garden by providing all necessary supplies and instruction as well as a plant nusery on the upper floor that directly sustains the plants in the garden by helping younger plants sprout.
