The work of Howard Rideout Architect in Simcoe County is about building community through building relationships. Over the past 12 years, each new project has led to rewarding personal connections with the South Georgian Bay community through many individual clients and unique projects. The selected homes in this exhibition document the spirit of trust and commitment that connect architect and client in creating expressive and engaging works of architecture.

This exhibition documents the creative process, through architectural illustration, of the design for Midland Cultural Centre. The MCC was conceived as a “living room” for the community and as a welcoming beacon on the main street of the town, combining a synergistic blend of theatre, presentations, art and education. In the coming year, this building is expected to become a significant catalyst for community renewal, and to contribute to the emerging role of Midland as a regional arts destination.
