Kootenay Housing

Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada

2018

With sixty-nine living units as part of a larger development, this project provides the city of Cranbrook with an alternative dwelling typology to support its changing demographics. The wood-framed multi-family project includes three buildings with a mix of 3, 2 and 1-bedroom units through three residential floors. In between each building are amenity/lobby spaces with large patios to the north and south. Roof decks at the east and west ends of each building provide outdoor areas with views across the Kootenay River valley. The design reenvisions multi-family building in the East Kootenay area by providing modern, spacious dwelling units that maximize natural light and provide a wealth of exterior patios.
