Recent Ottawa projects from Diamond Schmitt Architects.
Former Union Station converted to the temporary home of the Canadian Senate. The east wall was left blank for over 50 years after its neighbor, the Corry Block, one of Ottawa's first mid-rise office towers, was demolished. This has been rectified as part of the renovation and restoration.

The National Arts Centre expansion and renovations, which includes a new glass atrium on Elgin Street, facing Confederation Square. The main entrance used to be behind the building, along the canal. It was a very car-centric design.

Canada Science and Technology Museum's new storage and preservation centre. Larger and more impressive than the museum itself. It brings an impressive piece of architecture to an area that's quite bleak, St-Laurent Boulevard, a suburban/industrial area in the old east end.
It provides plenty of storage for the museum's railway collection, amongst other things.
