Description

Cul-De-Sac Nouveau weaves missing middle density housing into the suburban form of the cul-de-sac. On two lots, the project proposes two buildings as interconnected co-housing communities as part of a community land trust, and creates the groundwork for a future laneway to be added to improve pedestrian access. The housing is designed through a participatory process with sustainability and climate resilience in mind, using cross-laminated timber, encouraging walkability and considering life-cycle costs.

Jury Report

This entry does a great job of showing how the cul-de-sac can be a site for opportunity. Cul-de-sacs have such an iconic status as the quintessential suburban form, and with that a reputation for being dominated by cars. Their urban form seems intractable and even hopeless. But this proposal demonstrates that density can be located on cul-de-sacs, and can even be innovative and push us ahead on sustainability. Its proposals match its goals: using a community land trust and a housing cooperative for long-term affordability, and pre-fabrication and cross-laminated timber to maximize sustainability and keep construction costs down.
