This comprehensive mixed-use urban design plan is for the central and waterfront areas of Royal Bay, an expansion of Colwood, BC. It is a brownfield site, a former gravel quarry on the waterfront with views to Victoria, the San Juan Islands, and the Olympic Mountains. The site contains steep hillsides and sloped areas surrounded by low-density suburban development. The plan outlines the framework of the building massing, circulation networks, and preliminary architectural design directives. Covering roughly 90 acres, the plan breaks up the site into four districts with distinct nodes and unique identities. These images are a glimpse into the future of this urban village. (Early planning.)
