A mass timber warehouse addition and wrap-around timber canopy give an existing building a noteworthy presence on the arterial road.

Sudbury, Ontario In progress2023–2026

Visualization at dusk of the finished building, with a dark metal-clad warehouse addition, clerestory windows and a timber-post canopy over the entrance and loading dock — Realistic visualization of the design, not yet built.

The owner needed more warehouse space, and the addition was a chance to give the building a presence on the arterial road behind the site.

The project is in design. Mass timber frames the warehouse addition and continues around the existing building as an exterior canopy over the front entrance and main loading dock, so the old and new parts read as one building.
