PUBLIC are leading the design of a food and leisure centre at Centennial Beach. The project stakeholders who include Metro Vancouver, the Corporation of Delta, and several interest groups have been united by an energy-efficient passive design with food services, washrooms, and park support services. The building’s environmental footprint is minimized with a green roof, passive cooling and ventilation, solar hot water generation, bioswales, and high-efficiency plumbing fixtures and mechanical equipment. This building delineates the public realm from ecologically-sensitive areas in the park. This integration of nature and culture defines the building and is expressed in PUBLIC’s identity graphics which are both informative and expressive of the fun of play at the beach.
