Langley Riding Ring

Langley, BC

2019 - Concept design

Just a stone's throw from Thunderbird Show Park, this facility was designed to provide an inspiring and world class contemporary practice venue for elite horses and riders. Nestled amongst tall conifers, the mass timber structure spans what would be the largest indoor ring in BC. Inspired by the surrounding forest, the mass timber structure (left exposed to the interior and stained white) is contrasted by charred wood cladding on the exterior, the deep overhangs emphasizing the horizontal nature of the low, long building. Ample glazing alongside the mass timber continues into the stables themselves as well, ensuring the interior spaces for riders and horses both remain airy and cheerful.
