This paper recounts early-stage research conducted by the City of Vancouver on a variety of small-scale housing types.
Key insights:
The report outlines how a variety housing types, be they sixplexes, cottages, rowhouses, small lot infill or others, can work to advance the goals of creating ground-oriented, affordable, neighbourhood scale development.
An information sheet is provided for each housing form with a mock-up to display how new development can take shape on single or two-three lot consolidations in existing residential neighbourhoods.
Other areas explored include:
- Technical feasibility
- Marketability
