NOA 23 – Re-visiting Victoria Island – Kabeshinan Minitig

This is a follow up from a earlier post from about seven weeks back.  The renovation/re-purposing project previously referenced  is complete and the building has now some public accessibility.  It is being used as a small indigenous museum, gallery and shop.  The project’s advertised name is ‘The Kabeshinan Minitig (Victoria Island) Pavilion’, and in french ‘Le Pavillon Kabeshinan Minitig (ile Victoria)’.  The address is 2 rue Timberslide.

For the interior main room, natural light, and it’s play on the wood roof trusses and stone walls, is a key feature.  The layout for the trusses is unconventional, combining elements of a standard design with a projecting lower section similar to a scissor truss.
