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

residences. |

Hearth Architectural
has worked with the City of Vancouver to test proposed zoning.

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. |
