‘Three Yards’ consists of 6 units within a typical 50 ft by 122 ft Vancouver lot. The building(s) arrangement focuses on providing large areas of shared outdoor spaces throughout the full depth of the site.

‘Three Yards’ shifts the standard front & rear yards, and places them directly to the side of dwelling units. The new yards become shared garden and green outdoor space for residents, with a more private tone. Consequently, this shift creates a large central shared space, and allows for the introduction of a central building with shared interior amenity space at grade, and a three bedroom unit above. All units prioritize access to 3 or 4 exterior walls, allowing for comfortable daylight, cross ventilation, and fresh air.
