Description
Project focuses on unlocking the full development potential of residential sites through strategic rezoning, precise policy alignment, and context-forward design. By navigating CD-1 pathways, optimizing FAR and height, and integrating the most current municipal guidelines, projects can achieve faster approvals and stronger long-term value. Each design approach prioritizes both development performance and public realm quality, resulting in buildings that are highly efficient, contextually appropriate, and deeply livable.
Nature-Led Living
This 15-storey senior residence sits between the Coquitlam River and a forested hillside, creating a calm, self-contained natural setting. The west façade uses layered wood screens and textured glazing to echo the rhythm of the trees, while the east façade opens to the river with projecting glass balconies and expansive views. Together, the two orientations create a balanced, restorative living environment shaped by both woodland and water.
West Façade — Forest-Facing Wood Screen
Layered terraces and vertical wood screens echo the hillside, filtering light and creating warm privacy. Semi-transparent tree patterns on the glass reinforce the feeling of being connected to the surrounding forest.
East Façade — River-Facing Glass Balconies
Full-glass projecting balconies open toward the river, offering sunlight, unobstructed views, and a light, airy expression. The material palette emphasizes openness and provides residents with a calm, contemplative eastern outlook.
Crafted for Senior Well-Being
Warm materials, gentle lighting, and a layered façade offer privacy without feeling enclosed, while generous views, natural daylight, and accessible balconies create spaces that support comfort, independence, and daily restoration within a nature-oriented environment.
