This 17,000 sf. office building for Pacific Coast Terminals in Port Moody, B.C. is a design and build collaboration to provide staff facilities, general offices and corporate offices at a bulk loading terminal. The staff facilities on the first floor include changing, lunchroom, and dispatch offices. The second floor offices provide reception and general support. The third level has corporate offices, main board room and the central computer facility. The siting and placement of offices affords excellent visual contact with activities on the site for managers as well as a view to the water. (CTA)

The assignment for this project, an upgrade of an office building constructed in the early 1900's, involved an initial feasibility analysis of existing building and code problems. The building was subsequently upgraded and several tenant improvements were implemented. (CTA)

Included in our numerous projects for Island Savings Credit Union is the three-storey head office located in Duncan. The building has been sited to emphasize the prominent corner location and to enhance the entrances into the building. The symmetrical façade treatment of the steel frame building highlights the main feature, a central glazed elevator. The completed project provides a new and successful corporate image for Island Saving Credit Union. (JGA)

The re-development of this area of Salt Spring Island was essential to the vitality of economic life in Ganges. Our approach involved integrating the various styles and uses into a coherent architectural statement. Among the many challenges presented by a re-development of this scale were zoning and tidal water table structural issues. The result of this project is a successful commercial area which includes a new Thrifty's Food Store, a new Island Savings Credit Union building, and the award winning renovation of the existing Harbour Building.
