First and foremost, communities are about people - not buildings. Families make up a community. And it's their children and their children's children who make a place come alive. Still, the successful marriage of built space and human interaction certainly plays a vital role in making a neighbourhood worth living in. Waterfront Landing has taken this to heart.
Waterfront Landing will respect the rich history of the region and celebrate its links to local history and culture at every opportunity. Its placement in the Sea to Sky Corridor has allowed it the rare and unique opportunity to create a new chapter in a story rich with heritage and culture. From its native roots and its compelling Salish art to its contributions to the community as a mill site, the story of the Sea to Sky Corridor has and continues to be an impressive one.
Waterfront Landing will proudly express this story in every aspect of its design and landscaping. As architect Norm Hotson puts it: "Waterfront Landing needs to be of its place, memorable for those who visit, loved by those who live there…Buildings along the water's edge should be Maritime in character and reflect the forms and materials of the industrial past."
Designed to celebrate both the seaside flavour of its location and the alpine grandeur of its surroundings, Waterfront Landing will reflect an architectural vernacular that subtly links the site's working roots to the modern lifestyle of its residents.
