Faced with the client's necessity of adding three separate new spaces to accommodate growing programs in the Adie Knox Herman Recreation Centre, the Glos team embraced the opportunity to create a more cohesive expression of a building that integrated varying generations of pieced-together historic structures. The architectural vocabulary of the existing pool building was incorporated across the elevation, eliminating the visual
confusion of different materials, while crisp white window frames were specified to better suit the relationship with the white window frames of the historic building. Angled glass walls were designed to both maximize views from the West, and to facilitate reflections and interrelationships between the old and the new.
