Residential Buildings
Reign | Willingdon Development
Chris Dikeakos Architects Inc. with Wesgroup Properties
This two-phase development in Burnaby consists of two high-rise towers. Tower 1 is thirty-five storeys with 260 market residential units and 116 rental units in the podium. Tower 2 is thirty-eight storeys with 357 market residential units. The project includes extensive fitness rooms and indoor/outdoor amenities for residents shared between the two buildings.
McAuley Architectural Consulting developed tailored alternative solutions to address the legal agreements required between the two parcels as well as a number of more standard alternative solutions required for typical highrise buildings.
Comma UniverCity Rental Development
RWA Architecture with Rize Developments
Comma UniverCity, located at SFU’s Burnaby campus, consists of two six-storey rental residential buildings with 180 suites. An underground parkade connects the buildings. Due to the site's steep slope, McAuley Consulting developed an alternative solution allowing for combustible construction on a structure classified as seven storeys.
W 42
RH Architects with Marcon Developments
W 42 is a multi-phase residential development including two 19-storey towers with approximately 215 suites per tower. The development offers fitness rooms and indoor/outdoor amenities on levels five and nineteen, with three levels of underground parking.
McAuley Architectural Consulting prepared a number of alternative solutions to address interconnection between the two buildings at level P1 and shared access agreements required for the air space parcel subdivision.
Theory | Symphony | Verve
DYS Architecture with UBC Properties Trust
BCR6 is a multi-phase development consisting of two six-storey wood-frame rental buildings for faculty and staff and an 18-storey concrete market rental tower. A childcare facility with outdoor play areas and residential amenities will be integrated into the base of the tower.
Given the scale of the development, McAuley Architectural Consulting developed alternative solutions to allow for separation of fire alarm audible zones between buildings and multiple firefighter response points to facilitate response. The building is also on a sloping site which required alternative solution approach to avoid applying all high building measures to the mid-rise buildings.
