Aerial View Approaching the Town

Come Sail Away

The Lakefront West is a neighbourhood designed as an extension to the existing town of Nakusp located in British Columbia. The new neighbourhood imitates the grid-like organization of the town, including several premium bungalows and single-family detached homes to appeal to the current demographic of retired communities and young families. It also features an extensive boardwalk and bicycle path to the north, a community centre to the south, and plenty of green space throughout.

Site Plans

Market Square

A Market Square lies in the center of the neighborhood and is bordered with six-storey apartment buildings with commercial at the grade. There is a large reflecting pool that can be converted into a skating rink in winter. As well as stalls which can be used as a farmer’s market in warmer months and a Christmas market during the colder months. The beautiful planters and abundance of seating makes this wide, open plaza an appealing place for shopping, socializing, and flexible for hosting many different activities.

Arrow Lake Marina

The Arrow Lake Marina has the best views of the lake and mountain. With a fountain right at the entrance, this space becomes the perfect meeting spot for locals as well as the starting point of the Marina. A visitor’s building with an ice cream shop is located to the side along with plenty of parking for visitors, and a splash park is located right across from it.
