ERA Architects Inc. (2020)
The City of Kawartha Lakes approached ERA Architects to develop a Feasibility Study for the conversion of the historic Coboconk Train Station building into a “wellness centre”, providing community access to medical services, dental care, a pharmacy and event spaces.
The train station was originally constructed in 1910 and serviced the Kawartha Lakes region until 1965. Eventually, the abandoned building was relocated to its current location in Coboconk Legion Park.
In consultation with the client and various stakeholder groups, ERA established heritage design parameters to guide the design of the adaptive reuse and new addition.
I was involved from the initial consultation with the client team to the final Schematic Design deliverable which included a program list, area breakdowns, a site plan, floor plans, elevations and renderings.
