MASTERPIECE 2025: Commercial Construction Less Than $5 Million

Commercial Construction Less Than $5 Million

RAM Constructions

Denman Village Park Amenities Building

This bespoke design-led project by RAM Constructions includes a raised walkway, dome, amenities building, and shelter at Denman Village Park, designed and constructed for the benefit of the growing community at Denman. While its purpose is functional, the overall approach taken by the team at RAM reflects a belief that communities deserve design excellence in their public amenities. Despite the small footprint, the project presented significant construction challenges to meet strict function, accessibility and safety standards. Key features include curved off-form concrete roofs, a cantilevered skylight with decorative metal infill, curved steel windows, and detailed curved brickwork. Inside, accessible cubicles are finished to a high standard, while externally, a durable and visually striking handwashing area was created, incorporating curved seating walls and integrated stainless-steel benches. The judges noted the excellent demonstration of workmanship throughout the build. The outcome is a public amenity that both looks good, and serves an important purpose.
