Built in collaboration with Nick Bray Architecture and Project Mint. The building is located on a narrow 25′ wide lot, requiring a clever space efficient design with additional “fire spread” protection. The site is also located in a “Peat Bog” (soft soil) area requiring a highly engineered shoring, piling, and structural system. This showcase high-performance and innovative home will be an ultra- sustainable, Certified Passive House that will become an important part of Vancouver Architecture.
The main floor has an open-plan kitchen/dining/flex space, and a south-facing living area with 12′ high ceilings. The upper floor has 3 spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the lower-ground floor there is another living area, 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms that can be part of the home, or be separated to become a secondary suite with a private entrance from a large light-well. This home includes a garage, back garden and a rooftop deck with spectacular views of the North-Shore Mountains.
The development is part of the City of Vancouver / Passive House Canada’s Near Zero project.
