Missing “Middle Housing” May Be Filled by Tsawwassen, BC Prototype Cottage
A unique prototype home in Tsawwassen, BC has the potential to provide a new level of affordability for single-family houses creating that “missing middle housing” between a conventional single family home and a townhouse or condominium apartment.
The 1,190 square foot prototype cottage is part of a demonstration of a new arrangement of single-family homes configured as a pocket neighbourhood for Century Group’s Southlands community. Southlands is a new neighbourhood planned for Tsawwassen, BC based on concepts of sustainable design where integrating local food and agriculture is a central focus of community life.
These cottages will cluster around a landscaped common area intentionally designed to foster a strong sense of place through small-scale and intimate private, semi-private and public spaces.
