WZMH Architects and HDR Architects collaborated with Spring Valley Corp. to fulfill the design requirements of this unique Government of Canada project.

They were laminated into panels which allow light to come through the wood, creating an amazingly warm glow. To create the structure, the curved frame was built with tubular structural steel that was shaped to extremely tight tolerances. The entire structur... More
