The Owner was so happy with the result of the Coho Townhouse project that he wanted to do it again. The new site is a block away, and had space for only one building, tucked into a deep, narrow lot.

Once again, the carbon footprint of this development is minimized through the integration of solar panels on the roof which deliver electricity to the units. All of the stormwater runoff is treated on site, thus reducing the load on the municipal systems. Limited car parking is available, however extensive covered lockable bicycle parking is provided to support pedestrian modes of transportation. Material choices were made to emphasize sustainability, low maintenance costs, and durability. Examples of this include the corrugated metal & cement fiber board sidings on the exterior, and the granite countertops found inside.
