Summary

“Five” is an extensive restoration of five detached dwellings originally built in 1912. Once complete, the project will be placed on the City of Vancouver Heritage Register. The detached homes of 130 m2 each are contained on a single city lot. Preservation and restoration of the existing structures allowed the developer to retain the existing density of 1.3 FSR which is approximately double the currently permitted density. To reduce energy use, the project uses a direct “tankless” hot water system for infloor radiant heating and hot water, double Low-E and argon filled windows, and Energy Star appliances.
