1236 East 7th Avenue Townhouses Passive House Development Vancouver, BC Design Rationale: This project aims to deliver a mix of family orientated unit sizes to provide affordability across a mix of unit types. Context Overview: The site of this proposed development occupies the East end block of an existing RM-4 zoned site, one block West of Clark Drive. The site is currently occupied by three single-family homes with gardens and private garage access from a rear city lane to the South. The site is served by a lane to the East and also to the South with a corner cut dedication to the South East corner. The site is contextualized by a large 3 storey apartment building to the East, 2 and 3 storey single family homes to the South West, 3- ½ storey apartment buildings to the South across the rear lane and a further 2 and 3 storey stepped apartment building to the East down the hill. Context Detail: The topography of the site is challenging and features a large degree of elevation change. The site has a significant slope along East 7th Avenue, rising up from West to East approximately 15ft 6in. A further slope exists from North to South, rising up from East 7th Avenue along the East lane approximately 10ft 6in and also approximately 10ft along the West property line. An additional slope exists along the South rear lane, rising approximately 16ft from West to East. Development Proposal: This development proposes the delivery of 15 residential stacked townhouse units in a mixture of 2 and 3 bedroom units arranged into two blocks, one fronting onto East 7th Avenue to the North, a central access way courtyard running East West in the middle and a second block along the rear South lane. A single level underground parkade accessed from the South West corner on the rear lane provides 15x parking stalls, 44 bike stalls and mechanical and electrical rooms. This development is proposed to be built to the Passive House standard. For efficiency, compactness of envelope and construction simplicity these stacked townhouses are aligned at the floors as much as possible while also stepping to accommodate the extreme topography of the site both East to West and North to South. A fire access route has been provided along the East property line in the side yard to provide access to the courtyard walkway and the middle suites. A further access path is provided in the West side yard to provide pedestrian and bike access to the bike rooms, parkade and central courtyard walkway. 5x 2 storey townhouses are accessed from East 7th Avenue at what has been established as level 1 and level 2. These feature patio frontages onto East 7th Avenue and the level 2 units feature patios on their second floor at level 3, adjacent to the central courtyard. 4x further townhouses located in the North block at levels 3 and 4 are accessed from the central courtyard walkway, some by stairs within 5ft of this courtyard grade and feature either patios at the level 3 courtyard or rood top patios at level 5.

CORNERSTONE architecture 5x 3 storey townhouses located in the Southern block are accessed from the central courtyard walkway also. These feature South facing patios to the rear lane at level 3 and North and South exposure roof decks at level 5 on their top floor. The Southern block of townhouses are stepped at their 3rd floor (level 5) to help address their scale. Patios and planters are provided along the rear of these units to soften the relationship with the lane. The concrete of the parkade has been lowered as much as possible to lower the height of these planters. Also in this manner, the front and rear patio retaining walls have been finished in a mixture of brick and concrete to soften their appearance and provide a residential feel to their entries. To accommodate a PMT, the parkade entry and address the building’s scale to its neighbors to the South West corner, a lower, stepped 3 storey townhouse is located here and accessed from both the rear lane and from the courtyard at its own level 2 elevation. This unit features a balcony deck along its Western elevation. Some existing trees are proposed to be removed due to their size and location, however some have been retained where possible. Refer to the arborist plan and report. New landscaping and trees has been integrated into both the private residential patio entries and the common courtyard walkway, including the addition of an outdoor common amenity space located at the West end of the courtyard walkway featuring tables and benches and a glass covered roof where users can enjoy a great view of the North shore mountains.

Design: The conceptual building design lends itself towards a contemporary interpretation of the archetypal Victorian terrace. The building form intends to provide a simple building massing and volume, beneficial to an efficient Passive House envelope. It targets a modern aesthetic with massing sympathetic to the slope of the site and treated with a simple palette of contemporary minimalist materials of predominantly yellow brick and white cementitious paneling at higher levels. This palette simplistically deconstructs the massing of the building and gives a high quality finish at a residential scale. Deep set charcoal finished triple glazed windows arranged in pairs adorn the principle elevations lending themselves to the Victorian double window bay format. Planter boxes to patios provide privacy and vertical exterior fins, carefully orientated, provide shading to aid cooling in the summer months. The building features thick double framed exterior walls with R-39 effective insulation and R-45 roofs. Side yard and building height relaxations are requested to accommodate these thick assemblies and to address the extreme topography of the site. Summary of Relaxations to Zoning and Setbacks:

- This development has identified the available 5% FSR density granted by building to the Passive House standard. Allowing and increase from 1.45FSR to 1.52 FSR.

- A relaxation for a varying building height is requested to accommodate the stepped nature of the building to address the topography. Refer to the architectural drawings.

CORNERSTONE architecture

- A small front yard setback relaxation to 11ft 8in is requested along East 7th Avenue to accommodate the Passive House wall thickness.

- A small rear yard setback relaxation to 5ft 11 in on the East side yard and 5ft 10in to the West

side yard is requested to accommodate the Passive House wall thickness.

- A parking relaxation is requested for allowing a shared car parking stall to account for a shortfall of 1x total physical stalls, for a total of 15x actual stalls and to provide the required by-law count of 16x stalls. (Refer to Project Statistics).

This development is proposed to be built to the Passive House standard. Design elements included to achieve this are increased wall thickness, providing approximately R-39 R-Value, triple glazed thermally broken windows, Heat Recovery Ventilation (with HRV units located in closet ceilings) and Heat Pump hot water systems. cornerstone architecture #307 - 611 Alexander Street | Vancouver, BC, V6A 1E1 | 604 253 8800 | www.cornerarch.com
