Located on a standard Vancouver lot, this house will be a compact, modern and paired down take on its more traditional neighbors, integrating into the community without compromising its design integrity. Its pitched roof plays on Vancouver’s desire for traditional rooflines yet is executed with a contemporary vision.

Complete with a backyard pool and detached garage, the house maximizes utility and efficiency within its small footprint. Working towards a more sustainable city, this house will be Passive House Certified, making it an example of ultra-low energy design.

Design: Cedric Burgers, Karolline Turcato
