With a mandate to deliver affordable housing to Vancouver’s arts community, this 5 storey mixed use mass timber project provides a variety of housing types that are designed to give artists space to work within their units, while being supported by a building amenity that is purposely laid out to support their practices. The structural system consists 4 stories of mass timber on top of 1.5 levels of underground parkade and 1 level of industrial/retail use both in concrete.
Sociability studies looking at the optimization of public and semi-public spaces on the courtyard level.
The building has a common south facing courtyard that provides a large common space with direct access to light.
