Shaw Tower . 2011
Building upon the urban design principles laid out in the central waterfront framework, the Shaw tower derives its form in conjunction to the Vancouver Convention Centre. The result is a striking composition from all angles, a fitting piece for one of Vancouver’s most iconic sites. The building is a 50/50 split between residential and commercial spaces, and by pioneering the live-work model, the re-zoning of commercial land into residential spaces became more palatable to the city.
