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.
