First & Templeton

First & Templeton is a sixty unit residential Passive House development in East Vancouver BC. The project features four buildings orientated around a central courtyard in a hybrid typology of four-story stacked apartments and three-story townhouses. Gwill Symons and Scott Kennedy of Cornerstone Architecture join the Accelerator with an in depth overview of the project site, design, opportunities and challenges, and lessons learned. Their presentation will cover Passive House Strategies relating to Ventilation & Heating / Cooling, Domestic Hot Water, and Envelope, and Air Tightness.
