The Granville Gateway

The Granville Gateway is an entrance into one of the most iconic areas of Vancouver, the Entertainment District. It transforms two underutilized parking lots and their adjacent green spaces into a cohesive community and recreation centre. Through the rehabilitation and revitalization of disused spaces, this projects explores how future urban environments can foster a balanced relationship between nature and the city. The floating forest hovers above the street and is an elevated escape from the hustle of the City. The Granville Gateway is not only a recreation centre, but a congregational space for social and community interaction.
