The Hive
The Hive is a 6 Storey 60,000 sq FT mixed-use building in the centre of downtown Kamloops, BC. The Hive establishes a new home in Kamloops for progressive organizations who value sustainability, collaborative spaces and convenient amenities.
The Hive will be a catalyst in transforming a full city block into Kamloops’ premier business district that will be home to a variety of industry leaders and will become the focal point of a vibrant downtown. The massing is a contemporary interpretation of Kamloops’ historical and cultural use of brick facades downtown. The ordered brick pattern uses inset patios to compose a dynamic façade and provides usable outdoor space for office space.

1166 Alberni
1166 Alberni
The Carmana development contains a mix of uses; rental and market residential condominiums, office and retail, all tightly incorporated into a dense urban site. As such, the ground level expansion of the office tower to include additional retail along Alberni Street had to respond to a number of constraints in terms of loading, vertical circulation, access and building services in order to achieve a design that expressed and supported all uses while maintaining an overall cohesiveness.
Similar materials and vocabulary were used to rejuvenate the retail expression along Alberni Street. The retail pavilion at the Bute / Alberni corner provides punctuation to the end of the Carmana development and completes the retail experience along Alberni and up Bute towards Robson Street.
