Physical Model

Sturcture Project

Date: Fall 2022

Location: Arbutus Greenway and 10th ave, Vancouver, BC

Behold the Arbutus Greenway, a vibrant flow of motion, imbued with the colors of pedestrians and bikers alike. The design of the project, aptly named “TIDE”, envisions this flow as a gentle and ever-changing current, much like the ebb and flow of a river that shifts with the passing of time. To complement this vision, the shelter’s design takes the form of stacked pebbles by the riverside, imbuing a sense of peacefulness and tranquility that invites passersby to stay awhile.

In keeping with the nature-inspired concept of “flow,” the chosen materials include an array of timber, such as sawn timber and glulam, promoting sustainability and a harmonious blend with the surrounding vegetation. The use of concrete adds a touch of rawness and neutrality to the design, seamlessly complementing the verdant greens of the site. The interior program space also utilizes concrete, enhancing energy efficiency and lowering maintenance costs.
