Project Description | This development, located at West 8th Avenue and Birch Street, contains 17 residential units. The project had some unique aspects in that it retains three charming heritage homes while adding two modern and elegant four-storey buildings. In addition, the heritage homes were temporarily listed during construction to accommodate the addition of residential suites underneath each building. The new buildings have incorporated ample rooftop and indoor amenity spaces. |
Value Added | Edge assisted the architectural, envelope, and mechanical design team members to best achieve the stringent energy requirements dictated by the City of Vancouver without negatively impacting the overall vision for the project. |
