City of Vancouver Heritage Building

— Architects: Sharp and Thompson Berwick Pratt —

This landmark building, completed in 1957 as the head office for BC Electric Company, is a significant example of the Internationalist style of modern architecture. Floors are cantilevered from a central load bearing concrete core and supported by slender perimeter columns. The lobby, plaza and elevator penthouse feature richly coloured glass mosaic tiles by local artist B.C. Binning. Conversion of the building to residential use required replacement of the exterior curtain wall. Renovation of the building was designed by Paul Merrick Architects and completed in 1995 by Harrowton Development Corporation.
