1698 West Georgia St. Vancouver City and Nature Vancouver _ City and Nature Surrounded by tranquil water and majestic mountain ranges, Vancouver offers abundant opportunities to enjoy nature despite being the most densely populated city in Canada. The skyscraper-studded skyline blends in effortlessly with the backdrop of the North Shore Mountains, and the bustling downtown is just a step away from the picturesque parks. The city and the nature are inseparable here. 1698 West Georgia St. Vancouver, BC CANADA 4 Mountains of Vancouver The mountains of Vancouver are a vital part of the city. Standing in close proximity to the city, they are to be admired, explored, and are present in the daily life of people throughout the seasons. Few other cities in the world have such a privilege. 1698 West Georgia St. Vancouver, BC CANADA 5 Inspiration _ Mountains of Vancouver The bold formation of rocks creates rugged structures, feathery trees lace over the ridges and the ter- races, and the facets and the cracks in the rocks create an ever-changing interplay of light and shadow. Our design is inspired by the balance between boldness and subtlety of the mountains, aiming to bring a sense of nature to the convenience of urban living. Crown mt. Cypress mt. Grouse mt. 1698 West Georgia St. Vancouver, BC CANADA 6 Design Concept Massing Green Texture - Interlocking & Stepping - Softening the edges - Organically textured - Expressive volumetric composition - Trees and tall plants on terrace - Break away from charaterless glass boxes - Cascading terraces - Integrated greens on facade - Add warmth & human scale Stepped Massing Green Terraces Organic Texture 1698 West Georgia St. Vancouver, BC CANADA 7 Gradual Skyline _ West Georgia Street Rising noticeably lower than rest of the upcoming and proposed developments in the neighborhood, our building height at 1698 W Georgia Street respects the descending skyline, moving from downtown Vancouver towards Stanley Park. The asymmetrical tower top ensures a gradual transition of the skyline along both W Georgia street and Bidwell street, and also brings diversity to the mostly uniform skyline of the neighborhood. 119.95 m 107.9 m 1698 West Georgia St. Vancouver, BC CANADA 8 Podium Landscape Precedents Mild climate and generous precipitation in Vancouver help lush vegetation grow in the city. Great examples, such as the Law Court building, inspired the design team to actively integrate greens and lively water features into the building. Law courts, Vancouver/ Arthur Erickson 1698 West Georgia St. Vancouver, BC CANADA 14 Podium Landscape Precedents Stepping beyond conventional planting, greens on the horizontal surfaces have been introduced into the podium design. The horizontally integrated wall planting will bring the design concept of the mountain to life. Green walls 1698 West Georgia St. Vancouver, BC CANADA 15 Sidewalk Landscape @ Alberni Street The sidewalk along Alberni Street at the proposed development and the adjacent blocks runs in a width of 4.5m (from building setback line to curb). In order to provide much needed privacy protection for the ground level units and to secure functional paths for pedestrians, the proposed design adopts the linear hedge landscaping strategy from the neigh- boring blocks, which also helps to preserve the continuity of the streetscape along Alberni Street.

  • Historic West Hastings Map Guide
    HISTORIC WEST HASTINGS MAP GUIDE www.vancouverheritagefoundation.org Introduction This map guide focuses on the western section of Hastings Street, west of Victory Square. Equalled in importance only by Granville Street, Hastings has been a part of every phase of Vancouver’s history. In the city’s early years, Hastings and Main was the principal cross- roads. Today, the nearby convention centre, Waterfront Station and SFU campus ensure the importance of Hastings Street’s western end. The city’s retail centre moved west along Hastings in the 1900s, gradually abandoning East Hastings between Cambie and Dunlevy to low-end shops and hotels. The coup de grâce for this eastern part was the move in 1957 by the BC Electric Company from its head office building at Carrall and Hastings to a new office building at Nelson and Burrard (now The Electra condominiums); with the closure of both the interurban railway system, which had terminated at Carrall, and the north shore ferry service that docked at the foot of Columbia, there was little pedestrian traffic to support local businesses. The prestigious residential district once known as Blueblood Alley west of Granville became commercial beginning in the 1900s; high-end residential began to return in the 2000s in very different types of buildings, reflecting the redevelopment of the Coal Harbour shore- line with highrise condominiums. A chronology of West Hastings: Before 1886: First Nations people had a village at Khwaykhway (Lumbermen’s Arch) in Stanley Park and a handful of ship-jumpers and pioneers settled in small homes along Coal Harbour. John Morton, one of the “Three Greenhorns” who pre-empted District Lot 185 (the West End), built a cabin on the bluff near the foot of Thurlow Street in 1862.
