One Tree West
Affordable Luxury on a Small Footprint: A Conceptual Project
Luxury and affordability are typically understood as mutually exclusive models of development. But…
What if we pursued models of affordability that increased rather than decreased levels of quality?
What if we could bypass the challenges of exorbitant land values by exploring "zero footprint" typologies?
What if peripheral settlements could simultaneously address affordability and lifestyle goals through eco-urban infrastructures?
What if, for a third of the price of a condo in Yaletown, you could purchase a home that engages an entire demographic of young, adventuresome, and conscientious urbanites who are currently excluded from the real estate market?
We present: ONE TREE WEST. A luxury living pod whose footprint is minimized - from both real estate and ecological points of view.
