Watson Lake is on Highway 1. Why not drive from Vancouver to Whitehorse . . . you’d pass by this interesting ‘Forest’. Signs have been appearing since 1942 when a US army officer decided it was a good idea to install a sign providing directions to his home town, distance along with an arrow…(one of […]

So much of what we do is about process…..the owner of the Equinox gallery contemplates the layout for an upcoming exhibition. Our process during this project for Measured Architecture saw us grow to familiarity with the space; the beautiful variety of light within and the balance between the muted tones of the industrial ceiling hovering […]
