Exceptional design for comfortable community spaces.
We are passionate about the art of community making. Communities evolve. New buildings become part of that which defines a community’s values. One of the most powerful statements of a great community is a richness and character of buildings, often created at different times, but blending together to form the outward expression of the soul of the place. Community recreation centers are central to this concept.

― Community Recreation
Great civic design tells a story. What will be the recreation centre story in your community?
Sports and Recreation
We seek to express the character and identity of the community we serve. Through placemaking and architectural storytelling, we can help demonstrate your commitment to health and wellness, protection of the environment, vibrant sense of recreation and spirit of inclusivity. We can create public spaces inspired by the site and the region.
