A multipurpose building on a First Nations reserve draws inspiration from traditional Indigenous design to create an original, contemporary community centre.
The 7,500-square-foot cultural centre’s distinctive form reflects a fusion of the First Nation’s functional requirements, including a community hall, offices, crafting rooms, service zones, and ceremonial space. Planned in close collaboration with the Seine River First Nation, the building repurposes materials from an earlier, incomplete structure and echoes traditional Indigenous craft and the natural surroundings.
A collaborative enterprise of chief, council and architect, this bright, spacious centre represents the strength of the Seine River First Nation and reinforces its distinct culture.
