Sited between the Burrard industrial area and West 4th Village, the proposed infill at West 4th Avenue looks to introduce high quality housing and vibrant retail spaces to the village district.
The project blends the resilience and strength of the neighbourhood’s industrial character with the natural vibrancy of the residential and surrounding park areas. Its form is clean and understated, highlighted by cantilevered balconies that offer generous outdoor areas for each unit. Framed by party walls, the building envelope is designed for high performance, featuring consistent cladding across all sides.
Social connections are encouraged with an open-air ground level courtyard and amenity spaces at the roof. The massing of the residential form steps back from the street to provide privacy and quiet from the busy street. omb is providing full architectural and interior design services.
