This project creates a flexible and welcoming space for dining, wellness and social activities, while providing a strong sense of place and identity. Although the building is large, the spaces feel comfortable and easy to use. Smaller rooms branch off the main area, allowing for a range of different uses and experiences. Located at the centre of Pacific Lakes and Pacific Coast Villages, it connects to its surroundings and supports social interaction. A clear sense of pride is shown in how often the building is used and in people’s willingness to share it with visiting friends and family.
