The Dock Building, located on Jericho Beach in Vancouver, serves a large marina of sailboats. The facility provides offices for the Harbour Master, instruction space for children, washrooms and showers, and a variety of workshops to maintain boats, sails, and gear. The project’s practical working needs, very modest budget, and prominent siting required a simple solution that honoured the cannery and industrial heritage of waterfront buildings that were once found on the site a half-century before. The design demonstrates that all projects from working industrial buildings to boutique museums can and should be realized with grace and architectural dignity.
