E15 Townhomes, Vancouver, BC.

Completion 2023.

E15 is a townhouse development in the Mount Pleasant area of Vancouver. The townhome blocks are arranged around a shared, landscaped courtyard with homes having secondary entries opening onto the space. The courtyard provides the home owners with a secluded social space, with play space, lawn and picnic areas.

The landscape design takes inspiration from the storied history of what came to be known as Tea Swamp Park. British settlers remodelled the natural wetland in the early 1800’s to form a series of lakes and islands for recreation supporting an idea of the Wild West. Since time immemorial the First Nations had known the area as an important resource for healing plants and a stopping off point for migratory birds. It is from this swampy wetland with its islands and lakes our design is drawn, repurposed and reimagined for modern living.
