We worked with the Economic Development Corporation of
the City of Sault Ste. Marie to design a “Made in Sault Ste.
Marie” design solution for the buildings and attractions
proposed for the Gateway Site in Sault Ste. Marie.
Mr. Ellis was
asked to provide these services due to his intimate knowledge
of the site and the waterfront with his involvement since 2003
with various developers on this site. He co-designed two
schemes and sole designed two others over the years.
This design illustrates a night time view of the main tourist
attraction building. The site integrates many components such
as art exhibits, a relocated Algoma Central Railway Station, a
showcase for alternative energy generation, a cultural centre,
aboriginal heritage centre, restaurants and shops.
