Cover completed a renovation of an existing church building from residential suites to a physiotherapy clinic. The clients needed more flexibility to fulfil their clinic needs in the space available, so the church was designed to include an administration area, treatment rooms and a fitness centre. A fire separation was required between the clinic and residential suite to divide the separate occupancies.

Cover Architectural Collaborative is redeveloping a 2-storey commercial building at 96 Baker Street, Nelson BC. Our intent is to create a contemporary Baker Street streetscape with main floor storefronts and amenities suitable as a gateway to Railtown.
Cover will occupy the top floor and lease the rest of the building. This is a historic building built in 1956 and will contribute to the City of Nelson’s redevelopment plan for Railtown neighbourhood.

The Taghum Stop project involves the demolition and construction of a new store and gas bar. Historically, the building has been an iconic local point of reference, so the new store incorporated strong elements of Kootenay style and culture.
