Located in Vancouver’s Hastings-Sunrise, this front and back duplex introduces two family sized homes on a standard residential lot with clear separation between street facing and lane oriented living. The architecture is organized under a simple gable volume, with a recessed upper balcony and a deep canopy that extends usable covered outdoor space at grade. Warm vertical wood cladding and wood soffits are paired with crisp grey panel elements to define the entries and frame large window openings. The site is finished with low fencing, a compact lawn, and a paved patio that supports everyday outdoor use and privacy between units.
