这是由Montgomery Sisam Architects设计的花岗岩俱乐部。该项目为为社区内10000名成员提供体育和公共设施。现状建筑可追溯到20世纪70年代，以其标志性的高品质体育项目服务及不透明的围合外墙为特色。场地位于美丽的自然环境中。该项目是在现状70年代的建筑上进行加建，旨在提供以下功能：一个亲切而可达的入口、儿童护理、课后学习活动区、更衣设施及网球场之间的便捷通道等，并趋向提供健身设施以及三层地下停车场。该建筑的挑战在于纠正现状建筑遗留的一个陈年问题，并将大型室内空间转化为对外部、网球场和海景区开放的空间。从而创建了一个L型的平面布局，形成可俯瞰峡谷的新庭院空间，并提供了体育和社交场所。

From the architect. The Granite Club provides athletic and social facilities to its community of 10,000 members. The existing building, the fourth in its long history, dates from the early 1970’s and is remarkable equally for the high quality of athletic programming provided as it is for the opaque exterior walls that enclose many of those uses. The site is a beautiful natural setting perched along the edge of the steep wooded ravine of the West Don River.

This project is a major addition to the original 1970s building with a program designed to provide: an inviting and accessible entrance, child care, after-school study and activities, better access between change facilities and tennis courts, changing trends toward to provide fitness programs, and to provide three levels of additional underground parking.

The architectural challenge was to redress a decades old problem inherited from the existing building and transform the largely interior spaces by opening them up to the outside, to the ravine, to the tennis courts and to Bayview Avenue. This resulted in an L-shaped plan that created a new court overlooking the ravine and provide a venue for athletics and social events. The new entrance court at the front is created by raising the grade to meet the existing floor level and further defining it with a grand copper clad covering for drop-off and pick-up. The narrow building footprint and extensive building overhangs creates a covered porch to both Bayview and the ravine. The entrance has been rotated 90 degrees form the existing entrance and frames views through to the ravine upon arrival.

Early on in the design process the project acquired the theme Shiftingravity – for that is exactly what this addition has done to the “behemoth” that was the existing facility.
