Private Entrances & Access
Outdoor Spaces & Balconies
Flexible spatial configurations tailored to parcel width, depth, and slope to maximize livable square footage.
Independent ground-level and covered exterior entries engineered for resident privacy and distinct address identity.
Dedicated private patios, recessed balconies, and shared landscaped courtyard areas balanced with zoning setbacks.
Multiplex Housing Solutions
With Metro Vancouver's evolving multiplex policies, 3 to 6 unit developments require strategic massing and floor-area efficiency. GeoSpace evaluates lot potential, shadow impacts, and structural geometry to deliver high-performance multi-unit housing.
We integrate vehicular access, visitor parking, and bike storage seamlessly into site layouts while retaining green space and architectural appeal.
