Museum of Northern
British Columbia
Site: The landscape surrounds a longhouse which is a major component of the program for the Museum of  Northern British Columbia.  The site is in the City of Prince Rupert and a large portion is undisturbed native landscape.  There is a tall bluff along the north side of the site over looking the harbour.

Problem Statement: Create distinct outdoor spaces surrounding the longhouse to enhance the program of the museum.  Additionally, public saftey issues must be addressed along the edge of the blufff and wheelchair access to the entry must integrate into the design solution.

Design Solution: A series of spaces are developed to serve different needs of the museum.  These include a gathering space, story telling circle and a woodland garden.  Local materials are utilized for construction to ensure the landscape maintains its spirit of place.
