East Van Residence
East Van, Yo
We think Jim Sutherland said it best about this project in Western Living:
Maybe it’s more prose than poetry, but Carscadden’s description of the project as “beautiful decisions that fit within the rules” is as apt a description of a successful urban renovation as is likely to be found. Leave it to the client to supply the poetry. “There’s nothing about it that I’d change,” says Cossever (client). “We got it all.”

Sunset Seniors Centre
Vancouver, BC
The Sunset Seniors Centre is an addition to the unique Sunset Community Centre completed by the late Bing Thom (currently Revery Architecture). With the goals to complement rather than compete, the design quietly supports and references the design elements of the original phase. The project will reach the sustainability goals of the City including Greenhouse Gas Free, LEED Gold Certified, Passive House Equivalent and Rick Hansen Gold Certified.

Circle Wellness Spa
Vancouver, BC
Born of a desire to improve people’s lives and an unshakable belief that wellness demands attention to the body and the mind and the spirit, the Circle Wellness Spa pods are a leap of faith backwards to a more foundational feature of what it means to be human.

Building on the successful completion of the Masterplan, we are deep into the multi-year, multi-phase design and construction of the Sunset Nursery & Operations Yard. A cornerstone of South Vancouver operations, the project will provide a new home for local and city wide operations while remaining a good neighbour to the Community Centre, Arena, Park and local residents.
