This little green garden house is more than just a rental home; it’s a vision for sustainable and community-centered living in East Vancouver. When the homeowners embarked on this project, they had a few key priorities: the home had to be accessible, flexible, and environmentally conscious while staying budget-friendly. With these guiding principles in mind, they entrusted their design team to bring the vision to life.
The result is a humble yet striking home that embodies these values. The choice of Marmoleum flooring, a climate-positive material made from renewable resources, is a highly durable ode to sustainability and the energy-efficient LG Dual Cool system ensures low energy consumption while keeping the renters comfortable in all seasons.
Although the homeowners had to temporarily part with their flourishing garden during the construction, they plan to bring it back in a new form—filling the sidewalk with garden beds abundant with produce to share with future renters. The home’s thoughtful indoor/outdoor design further connects its occupants to the lush surroundings. Nestled in a vibrant East Vancouver neighbourhood, this little green garden house is a perfect example of how practicality and sustainability can coexist, offering future renters a beautiful and adaptable space to call home.
