  • A City to Call Home: Revisiting the Form of the Urban Family Home in Ottawa
    A CITY TO CALL HOME: REVISITING THE FORM OF THE URBAN FAMILY HOME IN OTTAWA BY MICHELLE UYEYAMA A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture Professional in Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015 Michelle Uyeyama ABSTRACT While ground-breaking architectural ideas and typologies have emerged, shaped and refined domestic architecture throughout the history of modern architecture, there has been little true innovation in recent years in Canadian housing, particularly in family housing. New domestic architecture can take many forms; however, in the urban core, space limitations render the task of innovating housing forms more challenging. This is not to say that the current typologies, the condominium high-rise being dominant among them, do not work, but rather, that they are ill-suited for housing families. This thesis proposes to refine urban family housing and takes on a current Ottawa Community Housing Corporation (OCH) project, seeking to develop renewed urban housing strategies and residential intensification methodologies. As OCH's largest family-oriented social housing community, ii Rochester Heights, Ottawa, provides an ideal opportunity to re-imagine the conventional definition of urban residential housing. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Janine Debanné for her encouragement, patience, and support. Her expertise, insight and kindness played a large part in the completion of this thesis. Her assistance in guiding me to relevant texts on Ottawa urban housing were imperative to the research into urban family housing. Finally, her assistance in helping me with finding the rights words has been greatly appreciated.

  • Secondary Plan Table of Contents Templates
    Preston-Carling District Secondary Plan 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Chapter contains a Secondary Plan for the Preston-Carling District. The purpose of this Plan is to provide more detailed area - based policy direction to guide both public and the private development, including public realm investment, within the Preston-Carling District over the next 20 years. The Preston-Carling District is primarily an Official Plan-designated Mixed-Use Centre, a design priority area, and a target area for intensification. As part of the broad change that is occurring in the city, the District has attracted a number of ambitious development projects in recent years and has emerged as one of the most significant re-urbanization areas in the city. The Preston-Carling District will continue to attract development interest and evolve, and will become the south western edge and gateway to the city’s future larger downtown. This Secondary Plan is intended to guide an orderly transformation of the Preston-Carling area into a future downtown District. Section 2 of this Plan describes the planning area where the Secondary Plan policies will apply. Section 3 outlines the vision for the Preston-Carling District. The Plan’s policies pertaining to land use and built form, public realm, servicing, and housing can be found in Sections 4, 5, 6, and 7. The Plan concludes with policies intended to guide its interpretation and implementation in Sections 8 and 9. This Secondary Plan is City Council’s policy direction for all municipal actions, including public works, site plan reviews, Zoning By-law amendments, and Committee of Adjustment applications in the Preston-Carling District.

  • Lebreton Flats Preliminary Master Concept Plan
    LeBreton Flats MASTER CONCEPT PLAN LeBreton Flats Master Concept Plan January, 2020 ii | LeBreton Flats Master Concept Plan Foreword I’m very pleased to present the preliminary Master Concept Plan for the redevelopment of LeBreton Flats. This plan will guide the development of the site as the National Capital Commission (NCC) begins the project’s implementation. If I had to distill the plan’s seven guiding principles to articulate what our planning team has achieved, I would focus on three crucial objectives. First, we aspire to the creation of inspiring, Capital-building attractions and activities that capture the imagination of residents of the Capital and the millions who visit us every year. Second, these attractions and activities will complement a vibrant, liveable, mixed-use community that includes diverse housing in all dimensions (type, size, affordability), that is a showcase of sustainability in terms of its low-carbon footprint and focus on active mobility, and that demonstrates design excellence. And third, the site will be enriched by fantastic, open, public green spaces that act both as destinations in their own right and as connections between elements of the site and the waterways in and around it, such as the Ottawa River and the aqueducts. I’d like to acknowledge the incredible effort the NCC’s Building LeBreton team has made on this project in a short period of time. The NCC has moved expeditiously to develop the new Master Concept Plan, and it is thanks to the hard work of our staff, the cooperation of our partners, and the contribution of thousands of citizens who participated in our public engagement and consultations that we are able to present this plan.
