11. Sait Parkade | Revery Architecture

Location: Calgary, AB
Type: Institutional, Parkade
Area: 381,000 sq. ft.
Status: Completed in 2009

Revery’s vision of transforming a primarily utilitarian building into an active and engaging public space is unmatched. 

The roof of the structure is made up of a FIFA-size soccer pitch for the SAIT Trojans to play on. The roof-top pitch assists in stormwater retention strategies for the structure. The concern for providing natural lighting and ventilation for this 1,100-stall parkade led them to design a facade with perforations to allow the penetration of sunlight creating a stunning outer appearance as well.

12. Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater

Location: Washington, DC
Type: Cultural, Performing Arts
Area: 200,000 sq. ft.
Status: Completed in 2010

This 2010 project of expanding and restoring two existing theaters from the 1960s incorporates advanced technology for refining and upgrading the experience of performing arts. 

The individual characters of  the existing theaters have not been compromised upon, but an addition of a new 200-seat theater was made. The three theatres have now been experientially linked with intermediate program spaces. Revery worked on the landscape in the previously unused pieces of exterior spaces. These spaces have now taken shape of pockets for social interaction and gathering which suffices the owner’s vision of having a ‘true cultural centre.’
