Aberdeen Hall Junior School (Phase 1 Building)

2006 - Kelowna, BC

The two-storey Junior Hall serves as the inaugural phase of a comprehensive campus master plan for Aberdeen Hall Preparatory School. Sited directly into a long hillside, the elementary building utilizes expansive north-facing windows to harvest consistent natural light for the teaching environments.

 

Architecturally the concrete basement was left exposed, and functions as a resilient, high-traffic architectural finish at the building’s base. The second storey utilizes a steel-frame structure clad in a sophisticated mix of fiber-cement panels and exposed Glulam framing.
