The Anvil Centre

Situated on Columbia Street in Downtown New Westminster is the Anvil Centre. Opened in 2017 as a museum and events center to bring energy into the downtown area, The Anvil is an architectural jewel.

Since it’s only a few blocks from my house, I took a rainy afternoon to go explore. I was equipped with my Fujifilm X-H2s and a Fujinon 18-55mm f2.8-4 lens.

The first thing you’ll notice is the clean angular lines and large windows. These forms continue throughout the building.

The atrium lobby is minimally furnished and finished with beautiful materials. The wood and marble complement each other and allow the architecture to shine.

An exquisite events center and an architectural jewel in the heart of Metro Vancouver
