MATERIALS PALETTE

Due to Black Bay’s unique aesthetic and natural value
it’s important that the materials and furnishings fit into the
natural feel of the site. The materials to be used in Black Bay
will work with the existing materiality and pull inspiration
from the area’s history.

Natural elements such as stone steps and logs will be used
for informal paths within the site. This material provides
directionality while preventing the trampling of native
vegetation. Another subtle use of design material is the use
of cable railings along the overlooks and the boardwalk.
This material will provide open views while enhancing
safety along the river’s edge for park visitors.

Other uses of material in the site such as, ground cover
or natural features (logs and boulders) will source local
materials to fit the area’s character. If possible, such material
should be re-used within the site. This reuse strategy could
include the use of fallen trees on site, boulders that obstruct
paths, or other natural site features that could be used
elsewhere in the site.
