This new, architecturally driven duplex delivers two 1760sf units of high-performance living within Vancouver’s high-demand Main Street corridor. The project successfully addresses the demand for family-sized housing (3 Bed + Den, 2.5 Bath) on an urban lot while adhering to advanced sustainable building principles.

Design Philosophy: Functional Scandinavian Minimalism

The interior architecture is rooted in Scandinavian design, emphasizing simplicity, functionality, and light. The minimalist approach features clean lines and a neutral palette of natural materials, maximizing daylight and creating a bright, calm living environment (Hygge). The spatial planning is designed for modern, flexible use, offering the scale and comfort of a detached home.

Building Performance & Sustainability

Constructed to Passive House Certification standards, exceeding current building codes, the structure ensures exceptional durability and thermal comfort. This design achieves ultra-low operating costs, targeting an internationally recognized certification and a carbon footprint that is 40% lower than the average home.
