Springdale Library and Komagata Maru Park

Brampton, Ontario

The Springdale Library is an inclusive gathering place, a progressive architectural expression in the suburbs, and a point of pride for the city.  The concept for this project is to establish a new type of suburban landscape through the organically shaped perimeter of the building; the creation of an undulating topography of fluid ceilings and mountainous green roof; and the sectional variation of the ground plane. LEED Gold Certified.

Team: Principal & Design Director Tyler Sharp, Bob Goyeche, Sanjoy Pal, Simon Routh, Soo-Jin Rim, Carlos Tavares.
