This 2.5 storey front and back duplex located in the east of Vancouver’s Riley Park neighbourhood is under construction and is composed as a contemporary gable roof form with shingle style cladding and warm wood soffits that frame the upper level. A large lower flat roof projects across the front elevation to shelter the main entry and cover half of the front patio, creating a generous covered outdoor space and a clear transition from the street to the ground level living areas. Large scale black framed glazing is positioned to bring ample daylight into the main floor and strengthen the indoor & outdoor connection to the patio on this compact residential lot.
