The Headwaters Arts & Community Centre in an existing 19th century mill building underwent an expansion to accommodate demand for more conference rooms, public spaces, learning studios, and a restaurant. The renovation celebrated the heritage of the old industrial building while creating a new creative atmosphere for artists. The total wood structure, ceramic tile cladding, and stone landscaping produced a warm atmosphere with interior, exterior, and rooftop garden spaces.

centre housed in a repurposed 19th century mill building. The expansion required conference rooms, public spaces, learning
studios, and restaurant venues. The design of the renovated Headwaters Arts & Community Centre celebrates the heritage of the
old industrial building, while introducing a creative new atmosphere for artists and art lovers. Total wood structure, ceramic tile
cladding, and stone landscaping produce a warm atmosphere highlighted by interior, exterior, and rooftop garden spaces.
