A fresh start on a site means that design ideas are more open-ended. Taking into account local regulations and budget, what kind of home can we collaborate to create? A mid-century modern with varied materials, minimalist finishings, and an open floor plan; or maybe a Strathcona craftsman with high-pitched roofs, a traditional front porch, and upper-storey balconies? Let’s find out.

Maintaining character and heritage houses is important, and we pride ourselves on the opportunities we have had to preserve pieces of our City’s history. Whether a heritage house needs an interior overhaul to meet energy standards and the needs of its residents, or a character house is looking to undergo restoration and densification, we have the design know-how to do it. In particular,  past multi-family heritage projects have been resounding successes by respecting the old while combining contemporary features inside (... and sometimes outside) new dwelling units.

An old character house on a large site or a new duplex in Kitsilano, opportunities for creating multi-family homes has never been simpler in Vancouver. With new regulations allowing a minimum of two dwelling units throughout all residential zoning, your project has new-found flexibility. It’s a great thing too, as we specialize in densifying lots and creating a more diverse pool of housing options in our City, while still upholding the firm's tenant of designing livable, functional, beautiful homes.
