This ‘modern coach house’ in the Kirkendall neighbourhood is the first completed secondary dwelling unit (SDU) under the new Hamilton zoning bylaw. The new tenants, a family of four with two young children, will be moving in starting this week.

We believe this type of infill housing in existing neighbourhoods is a good way to create incremental intensification and a sustainable form of new housing. This house, for example, is around 800ft2 and is designed to the #passivehouse standard with electric heat pumps and super efficient in-wall HRVs for fresh air. We have several more houses like this in design or submitted for permit so you should soon see more of these SDUs across Hamilton’s underused backyards.

We will be adding case studies with costing info, timelines, lessons learned etc. in the coming weeks to the www.secondarydwellings.ca website.

We’re at our second @indwellhopeandhomes groundbreaking in as many weeks! This time in the Railway City and looking forward to creating 45 sustainable apartments and a fire hall! #passivehouse #affordablehousing #stthomas

We are thrilled to be part of the transformation of this beautiful Victorian square and the architects for the redevelopment of the Paisley Inn. It was heartwarming to see so many folks come out tonight to raise a glass to the grand Dame and to look forward to the future of the heart of Paisley. #heritagematters #ontarioheritage #townsquare #architecture #thenandnow

It is Leila’s last day with us today (front right). She has been our co-op student from Mohawk College for the past 18 months. We with her all the best as she heads into her last term of college! ⭐️ 👩‍🎓

Very excited to see the cladding being installed on our @indwellhopeandhomes Lakeshore Lofts and @compassfoodbank in Port Credit! Right mow the panels have big stickers on them and we can’t wait for the big reveal so everyone can see what the building will look like when it’s finished. #passivehouse @cladco_architectural #alpolic #affordablehousing #cladding

Looking through photos from last week and just realized we were photobombed but the Prime Minister of 🇨🇦. #photobomb @indwellhopeandhomes

Recent progress at the @indwellhopeandhomes Embassy Suites project in Old East Village, London. 72 units of affordable housing coming soon. #passivehouse

Today was the first design charrette with artist Beth and others from the @londonclayartcentre along with artistic tenants and staff from @indwellhopeandhomes’s London Westfield Gate program.

We are thrilled to be planning three large mosaics on the facades of the new Embassy Suites. The design process starts with identifying the core values and themes that Indwell would like to represent on the facade, as this artwork is intended to last the life of the building.

Next steps will include creating an overall design for the panels, incorporating the contributions of many in the community. Then we will be creating, glazing, and firing the tiles over the winter for installation next year.
