The Cedar Cottage Neighbourhood House has served the residents
of East Vancouver since 1964. The success of the program has
led to replacing the aging building with a much larger state-of-art
neighbourhood house. The new facility will support an expanded Adult
Day Program, 37 capacity childcare and a variety of community support
activities.
In consultation with a series of stakeholder groups, the design
is welcoming, flexible and reflects the diverse cultures of the
neighbourhood. The 3-storey building is sculpted to relate to the
single-family housing surrounding the centre, as well as to maintain a
pedestrian scale. It is slated to achieve LEED gold certification to be
rated a low carbon building.
