View from corner of 10th Street & Carnarvon Street
Podium cladding: The wave, is a system of perforated
aluminum screens, employing curves which evoke an,
organic nature; the ripple of water, a nod to the banks of
the Fraser River.
The screens are perforated with various types of
patterning drawing interest during the day; like a curtain
opening as traffic flows past, entering New Westminster.
In the evening, the screen is subtly lit to emit a soft glow,
becoming a lantern to light the plaza and streets below.
Right: Precedent examples showing
the intended material character of the
screening.

Horizontal Screening:
As a contrast to the
perforated screening
system, a horizontal
screening system
is also employed,
located at significant
points around the
podium. This screen
consists of horizontal
hollow aluminum
extrusions, powder
coated in shades of
natural brown tones.

Regularized pattern
Regularized with sub-patterning
View East along Carnarvon Street
Perforated Screen & Patterning:
This perforated metal screen employs patterning of 3
different characteristics.
1. A regularized graphic pattern of 2” diameter
perforations.
2. A regularized pattern of 3.5” diameter perforations with
an embedded sub-pattern consisting of smaller perforations.
3. A subtle organic pattern consisting of 3.5”, 2” and 1”
diameter perforations.
Colour:
A subtle range of colour variation is also employed. In
keeping with an organic identity, the colour palette relates
to those often produced by metals in different states.
