Queen Block

A Medical Office Building with a tight masonry exterior.

Sitting across from City Hospital in Saskatoon, Queen Block offers office and clinic space to medical specialists. Built for longevity, with robust materials, the building’s appearance is quiet, lasting and confident. It respects its context both in scale and materiality while presenting a modern character with its tight brick skin and syncopated rhythm of the aluminum panels. A subtle push and pull of the brick introduces depth and relief in the facade that catches the light and changes throughout the day.
