Located in Banff National Park, the Okâch – Îyethkabi Oûgitûbi pavilion is a community gathering place that showcases regenerative architecture. Built by HSS Design Build Ltd., the pavilion features mass timber construction, using locally sourced dowel laminated timber (DLT) panels for its structure. The design, inspired by the region’s rustic, prairie-style architecture, harmonizes with the natural surroundings. A large overhang protects the building, supporting its 100-year design life. For enhanced beauty and durability, exterior cedar timbers are finished with Sansin SDF – Espresso, shielding the wood from water and UV damage throughout Banff’s fluctuating climate – cold dry winters and warm summers.
