At the heart of the manicured green fairways of the Tobiano Golf Resort, the Clubhouse building is the first public intervention between the built environment and its vast arid site in the BC Interior.


A refuge from the elements, the Clubhouse establishes the architectural identity that will resonate throughout the rest of this new development. At the edge of the golf course, the Turf Care Facility continues this language, creating a cohesiveness to the emerging architectural context. Harmonizing with their environment, the buildings express themselves through the textured use of wood.

Completed in 2008, the 11,000 sq.ft Golf Clubhouse and the 9,200 sq.ft. Turf Care Facility are situated in a semi-desert landscape, with panoramic views of Kamloops Lake and the surrounding mountains.

The design incorporates the vernacular materials of the typical Whistler mountain home, and applies them with a contemporary language, using clean and simple gestures that are at once bold yet subtle. The extensive use of wood, primarily Douglas fir and Red cedar, provides warmth and context in the mountain environment, as well as continuity between interior and exterior.
