Projects

In 2002, WAI was retained by Geranium Corporation to act as the Resident Architect to provide ongoing design review for the designs of all buildings and structures within Friday Harbour. WAI’s role as Resident Architect was confirmed by the Town of Innisfil and now forms part of the Site Plan Approval Process. Working alongside the MBTW Group the Resident Landscape Architects, WAI works daily with multiple project architects, marina consultants and landscape architects to coordinate all aspects of the design of Friday Harbour.  Through the privately administered design guidance system WAI is responsible for the overall design coordination and refinements of development concepts through the implementation stages including the review of all materials and colours. Friday Harbour is an upscale walkable, all-season waterfront resort community on the shore of Lake Simcoe. The focus of this 239-hectare recreation-based community is an environmentally sustainable man-made recreational harbour containing private residences, a publicly accessible marina, dining facilities and several members-only private recreational facilities and clubs.  The vibrant upscale Friday Harbour community is structured on “new urbanism” principles and sustainable planning, promoting a mix of uses and densities with quality architectural design.
