VANCOUVER — Sapphire Balconies has announced it will be providing its prefabricated balcony designs to the Vienna House residential development, a near-zero-emissions rental apartment community in East Vancouver.
The project was developed in partnership with the Province of British Columbia, through BC Housing, Kindred Construction and Public Architecture, explains a release.
Vienna House is an affordable rental apartment community that incorporates advanced building techniques such as hybrid mass timber construction, Passive House design principles and prefabricated building components.
Sapphire’s prefabricated aluminum balconies will also be a part of the sustainability mix. Made offsite, the modular balconies can be mounted from inside patio door openings.
“We’re pleased to collaborate with Kindred Construction and Public Architecture to create housing that not only enhances community living, but also leads the way in sustainable residential design,” said Luke Haughton, president and managing director at Sapphire Balconies, in a statement. “Vienna House is a tremendous opportunity to showcase our commitment to forward-thinking, eco-friendly solutions.”
The community will consist of 123 units, including 57 family units, all mixed between deep subsidy, rent-geared-to-income, and affordable market rental units.
