The West End Cultural Centre (WECC) was established in 1987 when the founders and a team of committed volunteers set out to renovate an old church into a community arts facility. The first concert ever to take place in the hall, on October 23rd of 1987, featured Spirit of the West and proved to audiences that the WECC was ready to fill a void in the music community, dedicating itself to the best in almost every genre of music and art. Since then, the WECC has entertained audiences with a large variety of productions including dance, literary readings, concerts, and festivals.

HEDGE is a 55+ apartment complex that reconsiders the typically modest seniors' housing typology as an opportunity for architectural richness. The four-storey project consists of 48 apartments distributed between two buildings that together frame and preserve a mature stand of cottonwoods. The building's circulation scheme and the landscape intertwine so that experiencing the well-treed courtyard becomes an integral part of everyday life.Starting from the ground floor and continuing upwards to the roof terrace, a gently sloping promenade moves from interior to exterior and back again, forming a continuous walkway that weaves the buildings together and bridges the half storey height differential separating them. The boardwalk serves a pragmatic role by providing access to common exit stairs for both buildings, and also offers a recreational amenity for residents - a means to take a daily stroll through the trees.The building is clad in corrugated corten steel, with added depth provided by a mesh screen that spans vertically between eight inch deep flashing angles, creating space where planters can be placed.

Contact Guy AnthonySewing started as a hobby. 25 years ago I looked around and saw sewing everywhere. Clothing, upholstery, bags, covers, even structural. I felt an affinity to sewing and design. I come from a family of sewers going back generations. Maybe it's genetic.After graduating from Sheridan College Faculty of Fashion Design and Technology in 1991 I became self-employed as Guy Anthony. I went off to sew my way through life. Sewing is a trade as well as an art form. I try to respect both notions. There is always a technical component and because almost all of my projects are ''one of one'', there is a creative component as well. I have always enjoyed and savored the unbelieveable range of the projects I have turned out. I draw inspiration from my enviroment and especially from other artists.A friend of mine once said, ''I work in the morning because I love my job and work in the afternoon because I need the money.'' I have always been supported by family and friends and by those who have hired me to design and sew.
