The Solution: creating community and family-sized units on a surface parking site
We designed a row of seven metal-clad units that take on an interesting geometric form. A site-specific response, the faceted design correlates with setbacks from surrounding buildings. From the outset, we mapped the windows to ensure privacy, light and engagement with the street.
To promote a sense of community, the properties have two access points. One is via the laneway and the other is through a verdant communal garden that spills out at the front. To keep costs down, there is no parking on site as residents have access to nearby transit (only 250m away).
