Aperture
“It will be like living in an idea.” - Urban Design Panel
Arno Matis Architecture’s Aperture development is located along the Cambie Corridor. The structure, much like the 6th and Willow townhouse complex, possesses an architectural presence that marks a welcome deviation from the standard podium, green glass facade design synonymous with Vancouver’s downtown core.
The Cambie Corridor joins the downtown peninsula and the Broadway Corridor as a key strategic area of urbanism. Aperture is representative of the ambitious vision of the transit-oriented Cambie Corridor Plan, where the prevailing typology for its core areas is to be mid-rise buildings (between four and ten storeys) with a unique flair.
The Aperture project, Arno Matis claims, is the next generation of urban planning and design in Vancouver. Here are some of the details of the development:
- 98,000 sqft.
- 78 Residential units.
- Offers both penthouses and villas.
- Directly across from one of the most prestigious shopping areas in the city.
- Mid-rise block building.
- Water gardens and courtyards for privacy and scale.
- Private roof decks.
- Reflecting pool.
- Stratigraphic architectural theme with layering facade frame elements.
