Sandy Tilt

gymnasium addition to Sandy Hill Community Centre

2022 | Ottawa, Canada

The addition connects to the existing building through a stained glass pathway that modernizes the palette of the existing building and brings it into the new form. The tilted roof emphasizes the connection between the exercise room and gymnasium, which requires a larger height. A pair of revolving main doors reaches out to the sidewalk to draw visitors into the building with a warm welcome.

The gymnasium features retractable basketball hoops and bleachers to accommodate a wide variety of activities for the neighbourhood. Sandy Tilt intends to bring the residents together and is designed to serve the community.
