Vancouver BC 
				based Architects:  Hearth Architectural Inc. / Special 
				Projects 
				 
				Projects under this heading include those requiring Heritage 
				Revitalization Agreements as well as smaller scale planning 
				exercises.  Many of these projects are currently under 
				development. |

				Infill Development is an idea recently introduced to the West 
				End of downtown Vancouver BC.  This project under 
				development consists of the conversion of an existing heritage 
				asset into a multiple residence structure and includes a 
				substantial infill proposal at the rear of the property for 
				additional residences.  |

				Another exciting 
				project in the West End of downtown Vancouver BC is the 
				preservation of another heritage asset, but proposing a 
				multi-storey addition for common areas and additional 
				residences.  |

				Hearth Architectural 
				has worked with the City of Vancouver to test proposed zoning.  
				In the example below, we were asked to apply the new RM-7 zoning 
				(Norquay) to a townhouse typology of various scales.  |

				The Strathcona neighbourhood of Vancouver is a distinct zone of 
				heritage styled buildings.  While usually pre 1920, we were 
				asked to develop a non-date heritage asset.  We have 
				proposed to preserve the building, while adding more 
				contemporary residences to the rear of the property.  |

				Maple Ridge BC is a growing community east of Metro 
				Vancouver.  Within this community there are vast tracts of 
				land slated for urban-edge development.  Hearth undertook 
				the exercise of applying adjacent planning principles to some of 
				these sites.  |
