Envisioned as a year-round hub for families and visitors, it will feature a state-of-the-art waterpark integrated with Whistler’s mountain activities. BOS Studio served as Architect-of-Record, guiding the project through concept visioning and feasibility planning. We worked to ensure the design complements the alpine environment and tourism needs while addressing practical challenges like short building seasons and higher elevation construction logistics. Our governance role involved coordinating multiple consultants (engineers, attractions specialists) and aligning stakeholder expectations – from the resort operator to local government – under tight timelines.
Balancing an innovative leisure experience with operational feasibility.
Strategic design approach: balancing an innovative leisure experience with operational feasibility. The outcome is a landmark facility concept that enhances community amenities and economic diversity in Whistler, built on a foundation of meticulous planning and stakeholder alignment.
