The proposed 5-storey storage warehouse at 1801 Powell Street in Vancouver embraces smart design and sustainability. The site’s unique characteristics, including a zero-lot line, dictate a 10′ setback on the East and North sides below grade, ensuring compliance with zoning laws.
The building’s design features a visually striking triple-height opening at the Powell Street and Salsbury Drive corner, supported by V columns. Metal panels with exterior insulation contribute to energy efficiency, while a neutral color palette adds texture.
The elevator lobby, strategically positioned near Powell Street and Salsbury Drive, enhances accessibility, seamlessly connecting to underground parking and amenities. Commitment to sustainability includes envelope performance, energy reduction, and compliance with ASHRAE standards.
In summary, 1801 Powell Street showcases innovative design and sustainability, aiming to set a new standard for urban development in Vancouver.
