Changes!

Some of you may not be familiar with the many versions that we went through on the previous proposal. There were a lot, but we want to focus on the more recent shift to the smaller building, which will significantly reduce the impact that the building will have on our immediate neighbours. Compared to our last proposal, the changes include:

Reducing the floor area (living space) by 40%.
Lowering the building’s height by 24% or 3.12 metres (10.2 feet).
Removing the upper floor and the rooftop deck, which, along with being a lot smaller, significantly reduces or eliminates the shading impact to the buildings to the north.
Increasing the parking spaces from 8 for 12 homes to 10 for 10 homes.
Removing the coffee shop.
Removing the tall elevator shaft and elevator.
Increasing the rear setback by 6.15 metres (20.2 feet).
Reducing the building’s footprint by over 10%.
Reducing the number of homes from 12 larger homes to 10 (mostly) smaller homes.
Designing this building to be more energy efficient to construct, with capacity on the roof for heat pumps and future solar panels.
Adding balconies, a ground-floor patio for the three-bedroom home, as well as an outdoor pet area and residents’ park at the front.

We’ve illustrated some of these changes with the graphics below. On your desktop, roll your mouse over the images of the previous proposal and it’ll change to the new proposal.
