The təməsew̓txʷ Aquatic and Community centre in New Westminster, BC, is a hub of community connection. Designed by HCMA Architecture + Design, it is Canada’s First Completed Zero Carbon Building – Design certified aquatic centre. Wood features prominently in the design, and all of the CLT and glulam elements are protected and beautified with a comprehensive system of Sansin coatings, including KP-12 and Precision Coat SDF in Sansin’s 2025 Color of the Year, Ivory 21 (formerly Washed White). The wood creates a warm and natural environment that stands in contrast to typically sterile aquatic environments. Sansin’s breathable, water-borne coatings enable the wood to breathe, absorbing and releasing humidity naturally.
