Visitor Guide
Stand under the Richards Street cantilever to experience the 'Sky Boxes' that appear to float over the traffic.
The corner of Georgia and Richards at night, when the light-up 'glow' of the canopy and the garden terraces is most visible.
Office and residential areas are private. The ground-floor lobby and public plaza under the wooden canopy are free to access.
The 'Sky Box' cantilevers were a direct critique of Vancouver's conservative planning laws, intended to push the boundaries of public right-of-way.
