Small Housing BC

The province of BC is helping to address the housing crisis by requiring cities and towns to allow densification in single family areas. Small Housing BC has been supporting this process by identifying twelve outstanding designs that might be applicable for adding density to single family neighbourhoods. Two of the twelve designs selected by SHBC are by Bruce Haden of FLUID. These are Koo’s Corner and The Schoolhouse, both projects in Vancouver’s Strathcona neighbourhood.

The scope of work included updating these two designs to current codes, and adapting the plans so they could fit multiple typical 50’ wide and above single family sites around BC. The goal is that landowners and potential developers could use these project strategies for their sites.
