and large-screen TVs for after-work lounging. The dynamic team at m+ Architecture | Interior Design in Vancouver used artful space planning and interior design to meld together to create an entertainment hub that includes a six-lane bowling alley, bar, pool tables.
With its sleek, modern lines and ambient lighting, the bottom level of Onni's CentreView condos in Central Lonsdale promises to be one of the North Shore's newest hot spots. However, m+ Architecture | Interior Design has been thrilled to spearhead a project that is magically transforming an empty below-ground storage area into a dynamic late-night bowling centre. But when darkness falls, where can young professionals go for fun and entertainment? Until now, most choices involved driving across a bridge.
Linda Buchanan said that with recreation in short supply, the bowling alley will serve a demographic “who actually want to do other things within our city besides sit in restaurants or a bar and drink.North Vancouver, BC - ( ReleaseWire) -The North Shore is renowned for hiking and ski trails. This sentiment was also shared by city councillors during that divisive council decision in 2017 where Coun. “North Van is definitely lacking those gathering places.” “With all the new developments and construction and all the young families that are moving here they need more of those entertainment areas,” Nadi said. Nadi Miri, the project’s main architect who has been working on the alley’s design with her sister Ellie said the space will be a valuable asset to the growing youthful population of North Vancouver. According to King Pin Bowling’s website, they are one of the few spots in Metro Vancouver that has a 12-ft snooker table.

Besides bowling, the space offers 8-Ball stations with professional pool tables, balls, cues and equipment.
The King Pins Bowling Alley lanes will have a restaurant with a sitting area next to the 10-pin standard lanes. In the end, council supported the bowling alley 4-3. Although city staff assured council all legal requirements have been met, a rift formed between councillors. When brought to council for approval, a potential neighbour to the bowling alley strenuously objected to the process also saying he didn’t want to live overtop of a bowling alley. The ball got rolling in 2017 when Onni Group was excavating their 24- and 18-storey towers on the old Safeway site on 13th Street and Lonsdale Avenue when they realized there was enough space for storage, parking and a 7,884-square-foot bowling alley. Also called Kingpins Socialhouse, the project is located in the bottom level of Onni’s CentreView condos in Central Lonsdale. In 2021 North Vancouver residents will no longer have to cross a bridge to find some evening entertainment and a place to hang out with friends.Ĭoming to North Van in January is the King Pins Bowling Alley, the result of a contentious split vote from the City of North Vancouver council three years ago, the loss of a longstanding bowling institution this year and two years of work by a North Vancouver-based architecture and interior design company.
