Description:
To get you going, please see the attached KID Land Use Order. It is outdated and they are being updated, particularly the FireSmart requirements (for instance, cedar siding mentioned does not meet FireSamrt requirements, and FireSmart requirements take precedence).
Your main considerations are the use of FireSmart materials (Class-A fire-rated), DarkSky Requirements and the general look and feel (colours, architectural style). I don't have a lot of time to detail it all here, but off the top of my head, please check out section 2 and appendix A.

The development of a permanent BCT TC at the West Bragg Creek (WBC) Provincial Recreation Area (PRA) and parking lot is now at the conceptual design phase.
The TC will utilize a combination of timber frame or Mountain Lodge aesthetic and insulated concrete form (ICF) construction. The TC will be very energy efficient and well insulated including triple pane windows.
The TC building footprint will be a maximum size of 174 m2 or 1875 ft2 per story to a maximum of two stories.
There will be a patio and deck connected to the south side of the TC.
There will be a meeting/classroom/eating area for 30-50 people including a small kitchen, office for trail hosts, office for BCT staff, small information and BCT sales booth and indoor equipment storage room.
The primary focus of the TC will be on public access, training and education. The TC will provide WBC trails information, serve as a warming hut, support BCT trail hosts/volunteers and sales of BCT merchandise, and offer a space for educational programs and limited support to occasional non- profit small-scale events.
There will be potable hot and cold running water in the TC including washrooms and a nearby water supply well and an advanced wastewater treatment system and tile field.
Heating and cooling for the TC will be provided by a geo-thermal heat pump system.
There will be a backup propane powered generator for power failures.
There will be a sprinkler system for fire suppression.
The TCT will have a fireproof roof with solar panels including a bidirectional electric meter to provide 105% of site electrical requirements on an annual basis.
The TC walls external surface will be fireproof and the colour will go well with the existing beige colour walls of the 2 WBC adjacent maintenance buildings.
There will be a TC security system.
The new TC should be constructed in roughly the same location as the current temporary centre, with direct access to the parking lot. The current temporary TC should remain in place while the new TC is constructed, if possible.
BCT will continue to provide reliable internet connectivity at the TC and WBC maintenance facilities.
The TC will be administered and operated by the BCT under a lease agreement with the Government of Alberta.
Wants:
A creative design that efficiently uses the allowed space for the intended uses. That incorporates elements of natural materials in conjunction with steel siding and roofing similar to the adjacent repair shop and maintenance sheds.
Don't Wants:
A garage package

No we are working toward selecting the winner(s). Will likely take another week because of the size of the team and how we will handle the selection process.

I show just one area of roof with solar collectors. Should be all roof with solar collectors easy integrated and combined with cladding panels. A new type of prefabricated solar collector roof module has been used. There are so many manufacturers with different systems. This could be separate project with construction details. Good one is “Click” solar panels from Roofit.sollar. I should provide you upgraded design with integrated solar collector on overall roof.

Is there 1875 square feet of space on each floor? Is the building “Fire Smart” could solar panels be integrated into the roof?

The footprint of the project has been limited to 1875 square feet. With the second story we double the square footage, with over 300,000 visitors per year we expect it will be a busy place. Ideally it would be best to have the public access mainly to the first floor. So it would be mostly taken up with a large room for people to change their boots, have a snack, warm up, meet up with their friends, etc. So the bathrooms should be on this floor as well, We would also like there to be a small shop to sell BCT branded clothing and double as an information booth. So the upstairs would have two small offices, two medium sized meeting rooms, a large room for events and education, a kitchen, and a smaller bathroom.

It looks like the double roof is a solar panel array. Is that correct?

Having two floors will allow for the anticipated growth in use of the building. We now have over 300,000 users parking in the adjacent parking lot annually.

Hello, if all areas mentioned in the description fit in one floor, would it be ok? Or is it mandatory to have 2 floors?

The bathrooms on the first floor would not have showers.

Hi! I have a few questions about your project sow:
1. Do you have a preferences of what should be located on first floor and second floor?
2. Should building be accessible? If there will be second floor, should it be accessible as well?
3. What is approximate size of deck and patio you are looking for?
4. Washrooms: are you looking for bathrooms only or need to have a shower room(s) as well?
Thank you in advance!
