Project Description:
Horizontal Gravity is located in Sunset Lane, West Vancouver. Gravitational forces considered to create the form are: views to the west showcasing the sunset, views to the south towards mainland Vancouver, and downtown views towards the south east. Sustainability features of the project include using mass-timber structure in combination with a concrete foundation. Form and window openings have been optimized to reduce energy consumption while maintaining views to the surrounding. The owner is considering the building to be built to passive house standards.
