Trinity Street Project

A single level, fully accessible laneway home is made to feel voluminous and large on the inside. The floor plan uses geometry rather than walls to divide space - the bedroom and bathroom tucked into each corner separated by the courtyard entry that allows controlled views, daylight to pour through and beyond. Intended as a long term home for the family’s matriarch, the material use is spare, focusing on natural wood cedar exterior shingles and exposed Douglas fir beams on the interior to create a warm and spacious kind of modernism. A surprise blossom of colour in the bathroom brightens and softens the Architecture.
