Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Distinguished by its undulating glass curtain wall, the 320 Granville Tower designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates is inspired by the physics of water, reflecting its proximity to Vancouver Harbour.
This dynamic façade consists of segmented glass and metal panels that create a rippling effect, enhancing the building’s presence in the skyline.
Notably, only one span of the cladding is actually curved; the rest achieves its form through precise segmentation
The 320 Granville Tower has been awarded a 2024 American Architecture Awards by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
At the base, a triple-height lobby and terraced landscaping establish a seamless transition between the building and the public realm, fostering a pedestrian-friendly environment.
The lobby’s design echoes the exterior’s fluidity, creating a cohesive aesthetic throughout .
320 Granville offers a suite of amenities designed to enhance the workplace experience.
A rooftop Sky Terrace on Level 28, featuring indoor and outdoor spaces for meetings and events.

The Commuter Club on Level P1, providing superior end-of-trip facilities, including secure bike storage, private showers, and a lounge area.
