they aryzen't for everyone.  that's for sure.

[aastra]

I feel like this is going to start an aryzegument.

[Mike K.]

Well, in ar yze the designs are different and welcome, I guess. In your yze the avant-garde look might be too much. Some variety is good, though, and I feel Aryze tries to be different with each project they pursue.

In your aryze 

The light the heat

In your aryze

I am complete

In your aryze

I see the doorway

To a thousand not-just-churches...

What are some examples of architecture that you do like and why?

[Rob Randall]

He probably likes that watered-down faux-Arts&Crafts stuff that comes off the assembly line these days.

A CALUC meeting will be held in Fairfield on Feb 27 for a proposed new rental development on Burdett:

 

The proposal is to rezone 1120, 1124, and 1128 Burdett Avenue to accomodate a five storey purpose built rental building with approximately 42 units and 40 parking stalls. The suite mix includes studio, 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units.

[Mike K.]

So the existing four-storey proposal has been nixed?

Perhaps it's just a revised design with an additional storey etc ...?

If it’s Empressa that’s behind it then yes.

A few projects previously discussed in this thread are going to CotW or Council on Thursday Feb 27:

 

514/518 Sumas, a 3-storey townhouse development, is going to council for a public hearing

11 Chown Place (58 unit affordable housing development) is going to CotW for consideration of the development permit

1015 Cook Street (The Charlesworth), a 5-storey, 31-unit rental project, is going to CotW for consideration of development permit and rezoning

 

Staff are in support of all three projects.

....Staff are in support of all three projects.

I guarantee at least one council member will be questioning the value of these projects.

It appears that interior demolition is underway at the former Floyd’s Diner at Quadra and Yates downtown ...

[Mike K.]

Is anyone in the downtown area facing a water shut off? 845 Yates is reportedly affected.

[Brantastic]

I saw a sign a few days ago at The Salt & Pepper Fox on Government (b/w Herald and Chatham) that said that they were going to be closed March 1 as the city needed to shut the water off in the area for part of the day.

No images yet, but a townhouse development has just been proposed for 2580 Vancouver Street in the Hillside Quadra area.  The proposal calls for 8 units in 3 buildings; Alan Lowe is architect.

OK, the previous 4 storey proposal for 1120 Burdett has been modified by the developer (Empresa) - it is now a 5-storey building with a portion rising to just 3 storeys, and the unit count has increased to 42 units with 40 parking stalls.  Apparently the design now 'better fits' the immediate neighbourhood.  Unit sizes range from studios to 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom suites.

I believe this project will replace just the 2 houses closest to Vancouver @ Kings.
