Good Density. Disruptive Density.
Some projects fit naturally into established streets. Others remove trees, overwhelm neighbouring homes, and dramatically change the feel of a neighbourhood.
Vancouver can add housing without losing what makes its neighbourhoods liveable.
Thoughtful infill can preserve trees, maintain privacy, respect adjacent homes, and create streets that still feel green, open, and welcoming.
Overscaled development does the opposite. Maximized lot coverage, limited setbacks, and large building mass can reduce sunlight, eliminate mature canopy, and leave neighbourhoods feeling harder, hotter, and more crowded.
Examples that fit naturally into the street.
These projects add homes while preserving scale, greenery, and breathing room.
Thoughtful infill
Additional homes can fit comfortably into established neighbourhoods.
Gentle evolution
Density can be added in ways that still feel neighbourly and green.
Density with design
Additional housing does not need to come at the expense of comfort or character.
Projects that residents feel are overwhelming neighbourhoods.
Large building mass, reduced setbacks, and aggressive lot coverage can dramatically change the experience of a residential street.
