Desert Cultural Centre

The Desert Cultural Centre is designed to be a specific and sustainable response to the building’s unique context – the unusual Canadian desert found south of the Okanagan Valley in Osoyoos,British Columbia.Sited adjacent to a remnant of the Great Basin Desert, this interpretative centre is a part of larger 200-acre master plan that includes a winery, golf club and a resort hotel.

The building features outdoor and indoor exhibits that celebrate the culture and the history of the band and is designed to be an extension of the remarkable site, and reflects the brand’s role as stewards of the land. The desert landscape flows over the building’s green roof, held back by a rammed earth wall.
