Intelligent Urban Prefabs
1 of 8
Vancouver architect Oliver Lang maxed out a commercial lot to create a four-residence prefab tower that takes smart urban planning as seriously as good design. Each of the residences has outdoor space attached to it; the family’s unit has a roof deck. In lieu of a green roof is a galvanized tub filled with grasses—a collaboration between the architects and landscape architecture firm space2place. Photo by Kamil Bialous.
In the living area’s reading room, which looks across to the neighbor’s living area, Lang incorporated titanium concrete flooring.
