Vancouver's budding romance with row houses

Monique Choptuik knew what she didn't want when she and her husband went looking for a place to live last year.
Not another single-family house on the west side like the one they'd been in the last seven years. Too big, too expensive to maintain, and too affected by the trend of investors buying houses and leaving them empty.
Cambie Street Rowhouses
Design: Otto Lejeune + Thomas Frauenberger.Developer: Art Cowie
Owner/Builder: MYK Construction
An 80' wide lot rezoned into 3 lots. The Rowhouses average 3,000 sq.ft. with 500 sq.ft. being a Suite over the garage.
Otto Lejeune and Thomas Frauenberger are proud to be the designers of this innovative new housing project. Otto Lejeune was responsible for the Development Permit, Building Permit and Construction drawings and details for the Rowhouses project while Art Cowie had provided the original Landscape drawing work to the project.
Riverbend Seniors Community
As an Intern Architect working with Scott Gordon Architect, I designed and produced the complete DP and BP drawing sets along with detail drawings for the Riverbend Seniors Community (Located on the former Desmond Farm property in the Brocklehurst area in Kamloops, BC.).The building (built by A&T Project Developments) started construction in 2010 and finished in 2011.
The distinctive "crank" in the West wing of the complex was designed to allow more natural light into the main landscaping as well as allow more units to gain access to the view of the river and hills to the west.
