People are looking for quietness, independence, green space for their family and parking for their car in the suburbs. They may also be escaping some of the obligatory social interaction in a city at the same time. However, for the rich or poor, single-family residential developments in the suburbs encourage the isolation of the family unit; they rarely have the collective life and sense of belonging to an urban society that one finds in the inner city. In addition, the problem of the enormous amount of time allocated to transportation each day is another major factor that pleads for a return to the city.
A part of the large clientele tempted by the purchase of a first single-family home in the suburbs is directly targeted by this project.

The proposed organization allows a family to occupy a unit on two floors (levels 2 and 3) while benefiting from rental income from the first floor unit (level 1).
The extensive illustration of the concept through its sophisticated form, figure and massing demonstrates a strong professionalism in the overall proposal. The spaces offer a functional interior with ample natural light and a large open-air terrace ready for vegetation.
