Canalside

The reflection of silos on water and use of galvanized steel pay homage to our industrial heritage here in Buffalo, New York. Canalside exemplifies the resurgence underway in our city: Its historic character is harnessed and transformed into a pedestrian destination for urban lifestyle. This revitalized place truly celebrates our country’s innovation in architecture, engineering, and manufacturing as one of Buffalo’s most lively destinations.

As the warm weather arrives, we are surrounded once again by the greens and blues of the Queen City. Enjoy a summer calendar filled with diverse activities at Canalside, along the outer harbor or on our tranquil waters, and happy June from A|r.

Understanding Place

One of the earliest steps in our design process is illustrating the forces that will affect a future design. It is imperative for us to understand how a new project will interact with its surroundings, make us feel, appear throughout the season, and accommodate the needs of future occupants.
