Located on the south side of East 26th Avenue between Glen Drive and Inverness Street in Vancouver’s Kensington Cedar Cottage neighbourhood, this RT 10 site adds gentle density on a wider 49.5 ft frontage with no lane access, backing onto a school property. The project is nearing completion and is organized as a front two family dwelling facing the street with a separate single family infill home at the rear.

The front duplex uses gable roof forms with a reduced attic massing and a modest attic level setback to fit the two and two and a half storey streetscape. Covered entry porches and stairs define the two street facing entrances, with side facing dormers and traditional detailing integrated into a contemporary envelope. Perimeter walkways frame a central courtyard and shared green space between the buildings, while a greened driveway with planted edges and concrete wheel strips provides three parking stalls from East 26th Avenue. The rear house mirrors the gable language of the duplex with a larger roof form to reduce perceived mass and maintain privacy at the back of the lot.
