Located in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighbourhood, the project is a four-storey mixed-use development on a long, narrow site at a prominent arterial intersection. It features ground-floor retail anchored by a neighbourhood-serving grocery store—an important amenity that supports daily needs and reinforces the area as a local retail hub—along with strata residential units above and three levels of underground parking. The design strengthens the intersection as a neighbourhood node while enhancing the public realm through setbacks and streetscape improvements.
The building employs articulated massing to break down its length, highlighting the retail entry with a central “break” and varied roofline. A dynamic façade with varied materials and balcony configurations enhances pedestrian engagement along West 4th Avenue. Upper levels step back—particularly to the north—to reduce impacts on adjacent homes while creating terraces and privacy. Key elements such as cantilevered slabs, inset balconies, perforated panels, and integrated landscaping contribute to a strong yet context-sensitive architectural expression.
