Description

Shared Density proposes to increase the maximum front and rear height allowances, and at the same time, improve inner courtyard dimensions. By reducing front building depth, the proposal promotes ventilation. The code changes would increase density from 0.7/1.0 and a max of eight bedrooms to an FSR of 3.0 and up to forty-four bedrooms distributed across various unit types. Using at-grade parking to avoid expensive site work, the scheme creates a shared outdoor space in the centre of the site above the covered parking and a retail space to activate the sidewalk.

Jury Report

The jury was swayed by the practicality of this scheme. A simple set of changes - adding height, hiding cars from the street and reducing the front setback - would be very applicable in the Lower Mainland. The scheme has a great section that includes a small commercial or community space at the street, and draws people in and up to an elevated outdoor courtyard space in the midblock. What it does at the street with the lack of setback, generous public program and welcoming entry up toward the courtyard, is very successful. At the back, cars are hidden and their presence minimized. With sixteen units on one lot, it densifies and has the potential to greatly improve on affordability.
