The Rosecoast Residence displays a combination of contemporary architecture with cultural elements while blending in with the surrounding environment. From the judges: “Simplicity complemented the power of the architecture, relying on openings to create purposeful connections throughout the home.” We are proud to show this coastal New Brunswick structure at the upcoming AIA Conference on Architecture 2018 in New York next week.
Rothesay’s Unbridled Path and Saint John’s Port City Royal both received a 2018 Maritime Architectural Design Excellence Award at the RAIC / AANB Festival of Architecture President’s Dinner and Awards Gala here in Saint John.
These two projects speak to the different contexts from which their ideas were created, and we’re proud of our team in the acceptance of the first ever Maritime Architectural Design Excellence Awards! This award recognizes outstanding architectural design excellence by architects for projects completed in the Maritime Provinces. We are what we create.
Thank you to the three associations that came together to create this award in the East!

“As an Architect I am drawn to landscape painting for the freedom of the stroke and the release from my daily structure. I use it for a creative relaxation. I usually steer clear of depicting architecture in my paintings. With the excitement of having the RAIC Festival of Architecture here in our city at the end of May I was inspired to do a show on the beautiful architecture of our city.” -Jill Higgins
DATE: MAY 31
TIME: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
12 KING STREET, SAINT JOHN

Set in a fictitious time and place,HOTEL SARDINIA, The Next Progression, is a manifestation of our collective memory, an otherworldly experience, a palace of abundance. See you the night of Friday August 18th at City Hall forTHIRD SHIFT.
Partnering with Moosehead as a pioneer for their 150th anniversary, Acre Architects’ Monica Adair is asked to imagine Canada in the next 150 years. This is her story.
Moosehead Breweries shares a milestone birthday with Canada. At 111 years older than I am, we were born in the same place – Saint John, New Brunswick is our home. Moosehead “green” carries a powerful nostalgia for me. My father worked for Moosehead back in the day, and I loved being a Moosehead rep in my undergrad days at UNB. There is something about the green that reminds me of home when I see it wherever I am in the world. It also reminds me that you can create great things that make you proud of where you call home. WE ARE WHAT WE CREATE. . . .

Reminiscent of DIY milk-carton periscopes of our childhoods and an inversion of a lighthouse, the cargo container stands on one end at 20 foot tall. The Periscope Container offers a new perspective of Saint John cityscape along the Bay of Fundy coast.
Saturday / Sunday 2pm to midnight.
Big thanks to Jason Martin for for fabrication and site assembly!
