Finch + Benson: A contemporary design with historic roots
/We’re adding new life to a historic house with our finch + benson development on East 23rd. A character house is becoming four distinct family homes to create a community that balances privacy and neighbourliness in coveted Cedar Cottage.
The Project
Connecting your family to one of Vancouver’s best neighbourhoods.
Inspired by the sleek black and yellow finch and the 1901 Cedar Cottage Brewery “Benson’s”, finch + benson invites you to create a spacious nest for your family while keeping your social life at your fingertips.
Four units, spearheaded by the development's 1924 craftsman style architecture, showcase thoughtful, modern and minimalist designs which perfectly balance privacy and neighbourliness, creating homes unique to today’s families needs.
If you’re a young professional or growing family, this development creates a place of high liveability and design excellence. finch + benson is where it’s all possible.
The Neighborhood
Listen to the wind rustle through the trees while sipping on your morning coffee all while being only steps away from your favourite shops and restaurants. Here you can soak up the quiet life while staying connected to your social life.
Located in Vancouver on East 23rd Avenue, this development is surrounded by community parks, schools, bistros, and is just blocks away from Fraser Street. Meet your friends for cocktail hour and then stroll home through quiet residential streets.
The Architecture and Design
Celebrating the characteristics of the craftsman-style home, one of the last of its era remaining on the block, retention and rebuild creates four distinct family-orientated units surrounding an outdoor courtyard.
The two buildings draw from each other to create a sense of continuity between heritage retention and modern, bold new build. Shared materials create timelessness, while the form and details reflect the era in which each house was built.
Your needs for today and tomorrow are met in this forward-thinking development.
