CBC Plaza / TV Towers
Vancouver, British Columbia
2005–Present
The major public focus of the redevelopment of the CBC Plaza is to provide an open relationship with Hamilton Street -- with the mid–block pedestrian arcade opening onto a semi-public space to provide internal site access for residents, the CBC, and the new community uses. A new publicly accessible court and water garden leads into the CBC arcade, and the new spaces suggest an “outdoor studio” to complement the visible production studios. Planting replaces much of the existing paving, as well as covering the majority of lower roof surfaces
