108 Mile Cultural Centre, Phase 1 Request for Qualifications
Enclosed please find a joint submission of qualifications from Landmark Architecture Ltd. and Broadway Architects. Our firms have exceptional qualifications for this project. Over the past 10 years we have collaborated on several ecologically sound projects and have worked with over 25 First Nations. Together we have 30 years experience designing low impact, green buildings and eco based Community Master Plans. Recent environmentally responsive developments we have worked on jointly include: Eco-Village Resort Plan For Takhini Hot Springs Resort Government House Centre, District Geoexchange Building & energy efficient familiy housing for Na Cho Nyak Dun First Nation Tage Cho Hudan Cultural Heritage Centre for the Little Salmon First Nation Daycare, Health & Social Healing Centre Little Salmon Carmacks First Ntion Sustainable Community Housing Demonstration Project for Seabird Island First Nation
Our work has been acknowledged for its stewardship and recognized as a “model” for the development of ecologically sensitive communities. Currently both firms are working on only sustainable type projects. Landmark Architecture Ltd. has two registered LEED projects; a LEED silver under construction due for completion in the Spring of 2011 for the District of Sicamous, and the other a LEED gold, Family Place to be tendered in January 2011. Broadway Architects are completing the design for one of Canada’s first low impact/zero energy housing subdivisions.
Our enclosed qualifications provide more detailed information on who we are, our design philosophy based on “ECOlibrium” restorativ principles and examples of past projects incorporating these values. For additional information, please visit our respective firm’s websites at: www.broadwayarchitects.com and www.landmark-architecture.com.
We would be pleased to meet with you and the Northern Secwepemc Cultural Society to discuss your proposed Cultural Centre in detail, and the experience our team can bring to this project.

Design Philosophy

andmark Architecture specializes
in contemporary design for communities that require environmentally-responsive design and revitalization services.
Fobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbdesign abbbbbbbbes. As an architect I am the midwife of a process. When I intervene in nature and make a mark, I want to be as certain as possible that I could not make the building better. I work with my clients, and convey all I know about architecture that will help their project manifest itself in the best way. My greatest joy is discovering a really great resolution through interaction and sharing of the design process. My main contribution to the process is building the sense of community and ownership in a project that will give the project it’s greatness. As an architect midwife I am good to have along. At the same time I know I am only one small part of delivering something that all those who touch will be proud of it for generations to come.

The design is very compact to allow development with limited resources. It takes into consideration future growth and and appropriate scale of developent for a small community.
Burnaby Public Library & Civic Square - Burnaby Monica Baillie, Intern with James Cheng Architect The city of Burnaby developed this Library as a civic anchor to the Metro-town commercial development. It was sensitively located so that it would be near future rapid transit to allow easy access to all citizens. You do not have to be a resident of Burnaby to borrow materials so it serves a very wide community. It was developed with space for the Fraser Valley Regional Library Association that would permit BPL to expand in the future.
