Key Sustainability Features Infill development - compact high density  Heat recovery ventilators (HVRs) and greywater heat recovery, solar hot water system Building reuse and repurpose Pedestrian-oriented design  Reduced outdoor water use This six-unit strata townhouse infill development features adaptive reuse of an auto service building, Koo's Auto Service, which was built in the 1940s. Part infill, part addition, this project achieved a Floor Space Ratio (FSR) of 0.95 by renovating the existing garage building to accommodate two loft-style housing units, and building an additional four units on the former parking lot. Koo's Corner blends into the existing heritage neighbourhood through pedestrian oriented design, sympathetic massing, colour, and roof forms that reference the surrounding houses. This design approach helped to maintain liveability on a tight lot in this high density development. By maintaining the building and name of the former auto garage the project retains the visual history of the area.     READ MORE
