Jubilee House is a 16 storey affordable housing tower with communal roof top garden operated by the 127 Society.


A modular building plan informed our decision to explore building patterns found in nature.  Utilizing the innovation of bees building hives we took inspiration from the operation of our clients the 316 society.  Hexagonal forms define spaces, sunshades, benches and tables.  Planting is a celebration of season, texture, scent and colour.  The result is a series of spaces both intimate and open, communal and private, designed for ease of use with respite and care for residents and visitors.
