What it means to be green:
2009 Edmonton Urban Design Awards / Award of Merit for Urban Architecture >>
The three unit environmentally-conscious 'Flexhomes' are within walking distance to the river valley, and 10 minute proximity to downtown and Whyte Avenue. Unobstructed views from the rooftop patio look towards Mill Creek Ravine, only one block away. The family-scaled town homes merge into the neighbourhood while encouraging appropriate 'eco-density'. Cement-lime stuccoed strawbale walls provide superior fire and sound suppression between suites, while the beautiful organic surfaces compliment the wood post-and-beam structure. The interior spaces are modern, open, and functional, while extensive windowing opens to the south for sunlight and passive solar gain. Appropriate technologies and materials foster a sustainable living environment for residents to flourish.
