Burnside Gorge Community Centre
Victoria, BC
The Burnside Gorge Community Centre seamlessly blends architecture and landscape into the forested ravine of Cecelia Creek Park in Victoria. The fully accessible and extensive living roof replicates coastal bluff and Garry Oak ecosystem.
Drifts of meadow wildflowers, grasses, and rock provide wildlife habitat and natural beauty. Park walkways with viewpoints showcase the spectacular setting of the community centre and valley.
