Designing for affordability and connection

This project was designed to maximize livability on a compact urban site. By integrating shared outdoor spaces, private entries, and a mix of rental and strata units, it offers a diverse housing mix that encourages social interaction and a strong sense of community.

The passive solar design reduces energy use, while EV-ready parking and bike storage support low-carbon transportation. Durable, low-maintenance materials ensure longevity and minimal upkeep.

The result is a human-scaled, sustainable development that meets Parksville’s housing needs while respecting the surrounding neighborhood fabric and promoting smart, future-focused growth.
