This public artwork includes the marble-tiled lobby floor of The Exchange building at the Pender Street entrance and the marble-tiled lobby floor of the Old Stock Exchange building at the Howe Street entrance. 

In the Pender Street lobby, the undulating design follows from the tradition of Portuguese pavements. The pattern, executed in three contrasting colours of stone, extends beyond the lobby entrance and across the adjacent sidewalk to the curb.

In the Old Stock Exchange building, the elaborate ceiling of the original elevator lobby features imagery based on the provincial coats of arms. In keeping with this heraldic theme, the design for the refurbished lobby floor illustrates the waves and rising sun that are emblems of British Columbia's flag.

Waft's​ wave-form patterns can be seen to celebrate Vancouver's identity as a coastal city. At the same time, I am interested in how the undulating forms will engage the viewer's senses. Perhaps they may serve to impart a measure of rhythm to the ambient space and, in doing so, act as counterpoint to the straight lines and right angles that predominate in the built environment.
