WATERSHED COMMUNITY CENTER
Project Type
Architectural
Date
April 2023
Location
University of British Columbia
Initially mandated to design a “systemless building”, this Comprehensive Studio project leaned heavily on Passive House principles and Rick Hansen accessiblity guidelines to design a carbon negative community center in Cooper’s Green Park, Halfmoon Bay, British Columbia. Located on an estuary by the Tantalus Mountains, this community center seeks to address the intense bipolarity of the community’s seasons (intense rainfall in the winter and intense drought in the
summer) by celebrating the flow of water on site.
The design is centered around water collection, redirection and retention, while still providing the amenities needed for a community wishing to experience and enjoy the Sunshine Coast.
