SHAPE Architecture were delighted to officially receive news of Vancouver City Council’s unanimous support for the rezoning of the Lakeview Church + Housing project last week. This is our office’s first Passive House project and enables us to push forward with an ambitious plan to deliver 104 quality residential units as well as a new flexible and welcoming church space for the passionate Lakeview United Church congregation. The scheme was commended for its sensitivity of scale, engagement with context and enhancement of the public realm.
