DUQUAH RESORT & CASINO
Ucluelet, British Columbia, CANADA
This project was designed to be built on the east side of Ucluelet Inlet, across from the town of Ucluelet. The centre-piece of the project was to be a casino & restaurant. Hotel accommodations with cabins looking out on the Pacific Ocean were also provided on the site.

The architectural style is derived from Northern Tsimpsian big-house design, from the Skeena River district; and was the choice of the hotel owners, in their effort to show respect to other First Nations.

The project included a ground floor casino, restaurant, stores, hotel accommodation, wharfs for tour boats, and a series of cottages along the shoreline, with views to the open Pacific Ocean. The project had not been built as of the Spring of 2000, due to casino licencing delays. Planning & Design, 1998, by Malcolm McSporran |
