EAST 17TH DUPLEX
Project type
Duplex
Date
2022
Location
Vancouver, BC
Located in Vancouver’s Kensington Cedar Cottage neighbourhood, this side by side duplex occupies a corner condition with frontage on a primary street and exposure to a side lane. Two equal homes are organized with independent street entries and covered front porches, while the lane side elevation is designed as a secondary public face rather than a rear façade.
A shared gable roof and symmetrical massing establish a clear duplex identity and maintain the scale of nearby low-rise houses. Grey lap siding with white trim, expressed porch posts, and black accent brackets reference Craftsman proportions in a clean, updated way. Large front windows and upper-level glazing bring daylight into the main living areas and bedrooms. Separate front stairs, individual landings, and defined walkways provide clear address for each unit, with perimeter fencing and planting used to create privacy at both the street and lane edges.
