It is a design project in Mississauga, Ontario and it has converted a large agricultural field into a parkland. The park is defined by its [timber columns and mesh facade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lakehouse), which has been designed with the intent to reflect 'a screen of trees.' The studio shares, "The community centre is integrated with the surrounding landscape both programmatically and formally – together, building and park comprise a vital hub for leisure, sport, and recreation. The building is set diagonally with respect to the urban grid and with its four elevations facing each cardinal direction, like a compass, to organise the amenities within the park."
