INTRODUCTION

Site Plan

Horizontal is a community centre and natatorium which serves as a beacon to the surrounding community of Scarboroughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golden Mile area. Mass-timber products are expressed throughout long horizontal volumes; a timber bridge is boldly suspended over the site as an artifact, drawing in people from the surrounding context.

The massing of the project is developed in stark contrast to the vertically-developed tower and podium typologies currently proposed in the area, marking the site a place for gathering. A large sunken courtyard opens up to the site offering a generous public area which is central to the project. Major recreational programs are developed around this central space and are linked via a universal multi-use change room which sits at the heart of the buildings athletic programs.

Exposed mass-timber elements comprise the primary structural systems for the centre above-grade. Thick timber moment frames punctuated with skylights are viewed above the aquatic programs while a wooden truss with views to the exterior houses the major fitness programs.

The project seeks to become an exemplar: one that showcases the potential uses of mass-timber products for its structural capabilities and for creation of healthy building environments which have a lasting impact on its users.

STRUCTURE Three distinct structural systems are employed throughout the project, each utilizing mass timber in a unique way: post & beam, portal frames, and bridge trusses.

The post and beam structure is employed for both the lobby and cafe at grade, and consists of a simple 7m X 7m structural bay. The aquatic hall contains 2m deep glu-laminated portal frames supporting a roof punctuated with skylights above. Steel knife-plates are used to resist moment forces at every third structural bay, while CLT panels used in the wall and roof assemblies act as a lateral-load resisting system. A timber Pratt truss is used to house the major fitness programs in an open-plan timber bridge which is suspended above. Two CLT cores support the trusses and connect to grade level and the aquatic level below.

D E TA I L S : AQ UAT I C H A L L An comprehensive detailing strategy was employed to integrate and conceal services and expose mass-timber structural elements throughout the building as much as possible.

In the aquatic hall, glu-laminated portal frames are used as the primary structure. Intermittent CLT panels are used for the roof assembly above and provide an opportunity for skylights to let diffused natural light into the space as well as create areas for concealing roof drains and sprinkler systems. Additionally, gaps provide a space for heated air to travel into the roof assembly, adding an additional layer of redundancy to keep the CLT panels dry.

The projects massing is derived in stark contrast to vertically-developed tower and podium high-rise typologies currently proposed for the Golden Mile area. Strong horizontal volumes emphasise views across the length of the site and make metaphorical connections to the Hydro Corridor to the North. Stacked volumes housing major programs are oriented to highlight inward views to and from different athletic functions of the Natatorium.

Structure and materiality are integral to the scheme. Exposed mass-timber elements comprise the primary structural systems above-grade, while concrete is used in contrast for the wet programs below grade. Thick timber moment frames punctuated with skylights are viewed above the pool programs while a wooden truss with views through wooden fins houses the major fitness programs.

LIGHTING

High Performance Glazing All exterior glazing is triple glazed with Low-E coating on thermally improved LVL timber frame. This system reduces the thermal exchange between indoor and ambient condition, it controls the level of solar radiation entering the space. According to the manufacturer, a U-value of 0.72 could be achieved with this glazing system.

7SPEV 8LIVQEP 6EHMERX ,IEXIH *PSSV To reduce condensation issues, the radiant system is run at moderate temperatures in winter and summer.

Extensive Day Lighting Proper daylighting was a primary goal for this building. Glazing on both sides of the building maximizes the use of daylight. In addition, lighting loads are reduced by extensive daylighting. Interior strength training gyms and group exercise rooms are glazed to allow internal spaces to connect to the natural light.

This building serves as a beacon to the surrounding community and a place for gathering. A long, 112-meter mass-timber bridge is boldly suspended over the site as an artifact, drawing people in from the surrounding context. A large sunken courtyard opens up to the site offering a place for public gathering and is central to the scheme. Major athletic programs are developed around this central courtyard and are linked via a multi-use change room which sits at the heart of the Natatorium.

During Summer, the exterior temperature is usually hot and humid and is between 28 to 35 degrees Celsius. This means mechanical heating or cooling have to be turned on in all spaces. Operable windows and skylights could be opened to provide natural ventilation and extracting warm air because of thermal stack effect and the usage of displacement ventilation.
