Proposal to develop a laneway eco-village in Vancouver’s West Point Grey neighbourhood, on an old Safeway site.
Proposal vision: A community that is connected — to its food, foliage, water and each other — through an intimate network of naturalized and commercial laneways, a thoughtful mix of uses and modest density.
Site plan, featuring a variety of street trees, activated laneways, textured pavement patterns and green roofs.
Birds eye view of the development, featuring rainwater capture, urban gardens, solar panels and small rooftop plazas.
