Take a tour of our newest affordable housing development in Kitchener, for @indwell.ca. What began as a redundant church, right beside a hospital, has become 43 supportive apartments. The majority of the new tenants are coming from homelessness. The former congregation of St. Marks’s prayers have been answered, as their former church home has now become hope and homes for many.
We have several conversion projects underway at the moment, preserving Ontario’s heritage and helping solve the housing crisis. #hopeandhomes #passivehouse #adaptivereuse #kitchener #solutionsarepossible #practiceresurrection
We said a very reluctant farewell to Nidhi today, as she and her family will be headed back to Dubai in the coming weeks. We gave her what she has always wanted as a parting gift - a money tree. 💵 🌲 Nidhi, we will truly miss you! A big thanks to Meryline and Alice for catering the delicious Indian-Kenyan fusion.
The much-needed renovation to the Pediatric Oncology Clinic at McMaster University Medical Centre is based on health promoting principles to provide a healing and comforting environment for the children undergoing this vital treatment and their accompanying family members. The end result is a product of active participation with care givers and end users through the design process.
The 400sqm space was renovated in phases to minimize disruption in services provided by the clinic.
The design flow is based on providing a more efficient use of space and a conducive environment for treatment. Spaces are subtlety divided with age-appropriate activities and provide each group of children their own area for interaction with their peers while they await treatment. The flexibility in design promotes interaction, while still respecting an individuals need of privacy. Comfort and involvement of the accompanying family members has also been addressed. The vibrant color scheme is a product of discussion with all the stakeholders including the patients, and the therapeutic comfort they offer. 🌈

The Cotton Factory is coming into a new era with the conversion to 15 apartments for Sacajawea Non-profit Housing. We’re thrilled with the beautiful new #passivehouse windows from @vettawindow, and the spandrelsmfor the soon-to-come@artwork from artist Naomi Smith. Kudos to Schilthuis Construction for making this transformation a reality. Design of the renovations is by Invizij with @smoke_architecture_inc.
