Little Village: Working towards Building Permit for this cute little project.

Rather than uniting multiple generations under “one roof”, we have opted to create a little village of houses that form one larger dwelling. 

Individuals in the family can go about their separate lives while sharing a life together through common spaces, indoors and out. 

Splitting the house into multiple masses both defines the individuals’ living within the house and creates opportunities for communal and private outdoor spaces. 

The play of different roof heights and masses creates the sense of a miniature village while a single color unifies the dwelling as a whole.




                         

Adding density to single family neighbourhoods. The current Delta bylaw allows for a maximum of four units on this single-family lot. U7 proposes seven three-bedroom units. It is neighbourhood oriented with a common courtyard, large rooftop patios, and even double car garages! Let’s shake things up!
