The ALGO Club

Ontario

The ALGO club is situated on the shore of the St. Mary’s river, overlooking the rapids flowing form Lake Superior to Lake Huron.

The south elevation consists of a large uninterrupted band of windows on grade, with a view of the ships and freighters which navigate the St. Mary’s River.  This provides the users of the building with a very pleasant atmosphere, bringing the landscape, the river and the outdoors into the built environment.

The building was designed with materials appropriate to the site: natural fir, exposed steel girders, made by the local mill, quarry tile floors and cedar shake roofing.
