Studio Egret West have won an Honourable Mention in Reconnect Vancouver Competition. Out of over 100 competition entries from all over the world, our submission was given an Honourable Mention in the awards ceremony last night.
Our entry, entitled “Bridging the Gap” proposed two bridges to redefine the green enterprise district. The first – Skyline – provides a physical connection uniting communities north and south supported by containers for creative green enterprise.The second – Enterprise Way – a programmatic bridge injecting mid rise residential space above green workspace to create a mixed use environment that allows the green enterprise district to flourish. An urban forest of 2012 trees planted in 2012 provides the glue.
