The Auto Workers Community Credit Union (AWCCU) is a locally owned and controlled financial co-operative founded in 1938 for auto workers and their families. Profits are used to enhance products and services or returned to the Membership, adding value to the community and enhancing pride of ownership among members.
The project designed by Taylor_Smyth architects consists of a major facelift for an aging existing building. Thoroughly renovated, the building was transformed, both from the inside and the outside. The elevation facing oncoming traffic on the busy one-way street, which used to be mostly solid, is now a luminous composition of channel glass and clear glazing that embodies the openness of the AWCCU to the larger community.

Nestled into a slope on the southern shore of Lake Simcoe, this one room sleeping cabin is a simple but sophisticated Canadian bunkie, evoking the “primitive hut” of branches constructed in the wilderness.
The clients desired a private retreat from the main cottage further up the hill that would also enhance their enjoyment of the surrounding landscape in a location previously used to watch the sunset.
