Exploring Friday Harbour, An All Seasons Resort
Friday Harbour was designed to be a destination where every day feels like a Friday, all year-round. Located on the shores of Lake Simcoe, it is set to be one of Ontario’s premier destinations and is already attracting a vibrant community. This ambitious $1.5 billion development involved the excavation of the existing marina basin and the construction of the largest in-land marina in Canada. As part of the Resort development, an extensive and unique signage program was a must. Entro designed the exterior signage program with the intention of creating a sense of unity among the Resort’s different environments and offerings.

The venue also hosts a number of national and international level events over the course of the cycling year. Entro was commissioned to design a Records Wall to both beautify and animate the space, as well as inspire hopeful athletes by showcasing the achievements of our top performers.

Don't Miss 'Unzipped' Before It Leaves Toronto December 2

A vibrant addition to the King West neighbourhood, the Unzipped exhibition has been grabbing the attention of Torontonians since the summer of 2018. Housed within a unique structure designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and commissioned by Westbank, the “Serpentine Pavilion” is an “unzipped wall” made of 1802 stacked fibreglass boxes. Unzipped explores how architecture can play a critical role in community building and art integration. Entro worked closely with both BIG and Westbank to create a cohesive visitor experience.
