Knowles Residence

Scott C. Mitchell @Metric Architecture

This proposal to rehabilitate the unique Arts and Crafts Heritage ‘A’ Knowles Residence creates a significant public amenity. The house will be moved forward towards the street with added area to create 2 side by side strata units with 2 lower level lock off suites. 2 small infill strata units, connected with a carport, are proposed at the rear of the property creating a central courtyard with outdoor patios. The CNV Housing Action Plan initiatives are met with the added density which allows for affordability options, family sized units along with some ground oriented accessibility. We have successfully met with the Heritage Advisory Committee, obtained unanimous approval from the Advisory Design Panel and most recently had Public Hearing and City council’s referral to final reading.
