Kamloops North Shore Neighbourhood Plan Charrette

Turning Community Character into a Design Vision for Kamloops’ North Shore.

THE CHALLENGE

The City of Kamloops updated the North Shore Neighborhood Plan and sought to engage residents in a design visioning exercise that captures the community’s unique

character and ambition.

THE RESPONSE

In support of these efforts, MODUS conducted a multi-day design charrette focused on understanding and recording a comprehensive design vision – in part defined by the existing character of the study area – in a series of discrete spaces along the corridor. Working alongside community advocates, our team toured the study area, conducted workshops and developed a range of design ideas for the town centre, high street corridor and waterfront “precincts.” Concepts were developed and communicated through a range of media, including: graphic facilitation and conceptual sketches, scaled site plans and sections, perspective illustrations and 3D visualizations.

A series of check-in meetings with staff, stakeholders and the public helped refine and advance the design ideas and a final charrette report was produced to inform policy considerations for the neighborhood plan update.
