Title Page Picture - Carcross Performance Pavilion

The building on the header of the site is the timber frame performance pavilion in Carcross, Yukon. I did the design of this building with Dave Brook and Mike MacDonald, who are the builders. This is the second of these buildings that have been raised, the first was at Mt. Lorne Community Centre built in 2006.

The original concept and the bents (the structural elements) were by Mike and Dave with review by a structural engineering in Canmore, Alberta. I facilitated the design, overall layout, generally building aragement, massing, facade and ultimatly prepared the design. I should post a few more pics of it soon, as this building really does nicely showcase the structure of timber frame.
