This feasibility study examined the design of a Municipal Hall and other retail/commercial programs on Lot A4 at Squamish Oceanfront. In addition to the Municipal Hall, further uses such as an auditorium, retail space, office space, gallery/multi-use areas, daycare and wellness programs were considered. We prepared several massing options that supported unique programmatic mixes, activated urban frontages and featured a large outdoor public plaza.

Sustainability strategies considered mass timber construction, energy Step Code design, and electric heat pumps for heating and cooling. A collaboration with costing experts informed the project goals, providing a comprehensive financial analysis for the study.
