Highlights
3x three-bedroom homes, 4x two-bedroom homes, and 2x one-bedroom, including one age-in-place home (accessible at-grade with wheelchair adaptable design) and one first-time buyer home (20% below market).
Robust suite of transportation options for cycling, transit, and car-share in a walkable, bikeable neighbourhood.
Private outdoor entrances.
Individual storage lockers.
Abundant greenery with 17 trees and more than 330 plants in landscape plan.
Architecture
We use a two-and-a-half storey stacked-townhouse design with timeless traditional architecture - a form that fits gently into the existing scale and character of the neighbourhood. With a variety of thoughtful floor plans, we hope to foster an intergenerational mix of first-time homebuyers, young families, working professionals, and seniors - providing housing options that don’t exist in the neighborhood for families who want to live a happier, healthier, car-free lifestyle.
