DESIGN INSPIRATION
• Design concept: Flow, Flight and Fusion
• Approach: City Meets Nature
• Elements of curved and linear forms were taken
from the nearby Fraser River and the wild birds (the
heron) that inhabit its estuary. . Architecturally, the
curving roof recalls a heron’s wing. The roofline of
the Oval also mirrors the outline of the stylized
heron that is the centrepiece of the city’s logo
Heron symbolise
‘The graceful & elegant’

Vee-Shape Wood Panel Structure
The two lower floors of the building are cast-in-place concrete. Extending through the floors
are massive, inclined concrete buttressessit sit on pile caps that distribute buttress loading to
pile resistance from which the great arched roof springs.

A number of wood based cabinets, counters,
displays and a variety of screening panels
have been created
through the business and special usage areas
of the facility.
Wood doors, moldings and trims have also
been used to accent the building.
Some of the wood incorporated into the
finishing details originated from the trees
harvested on the site prior to construction.
