Urban Renewal. Heritage Context.The Strathcona Infill Situated in the historic Strathcona neighborhood, this infill development balances modern density with respectful heritage integration and preservation. By utilizing the site's natural slope, the new structure maintains a discreet profile that minimizes overlook impact while maximizing natural light and mountain views for both residences.
The design separates the two structures with a shared central courtyard, ensuring privacy and creating a distinct sense of place for each unit. The new infill structure features a contemporary palette of vertical siding and fiber cement panels, distinguishing it from the traditional main house while remaining cohesive. This approach revitalizes the property, demonstrating how sensitive densification can seamlessly fit into an established, character-rich urban fabric.
