Have you shared that somewhere? I'd love to see the floorplan

Have you mocked up/designed any of these single stair buildings with 1 unit per floor and 3 or 4 bedrooms? I often have people asking me to to find floorplans for single stair buildings that are great for people who want a lot more space in a condo

Love seeing these mockups every time btw :)

“Four/Five” accessible flats - with bay window Juliette balconies.

We’ve been exploring a few different ways to bring some familiar elements to a new building type (while remaining honest about what is needed in the form and envelope of a contemporary low carbon building).

I made a coffee table! My most challenging woodworking project yet

I've chatted with Peter a few times and he always impresses me with his willingness and energy to teach and answer any questions I have about housing, urbanism, transportation, etc or anything really.

I can imagine him creating some really great change on Vancouver city council

Victoria, BC really has some great cycling infra

me finally owning a home in a walkable neighborhood when im too old to walk

+ connect them to austin ave in a friendly non car centric way

Vancouver golf club next?

haha jk, unless?

seems to me that the lougheed area isn't actually all that nice to live/walk in with so many major roads going through it. Selfishly (in burquitlam), some more ammenities northeast of lougheed could help turn the 2 neighbourhoods into a really cool area

I assume by no rezoning you mean everything is already upzoned to allow this right? So no rezoning applications

Right, makes sense. I was just confused what Mike's comment was in regard to. I think I read it as sarcasm but it wasn't haha

Just to make sure I'm following your point. Double loaded corridor so you only have options for windows on 1 or 2 sides. But with SES you could have a smaller lot, windows on both sides of the build and no or fewer windows facing the building beside you?

Oh I didn't know there were square footage caps per floor with single stair, interesting.

Ahh yeah, I hadn't considered how expensive the elevators would be

Are these longer buildings still single stair?

I kind of assumed that 2 smaller buildings taking up the same amount of space would be a better use of space. Less hallways, more flexability with floorplans, etc.

If you're on insta I'd love some support on a couple of accounts I run

One is me yapping about wellness, existentalism, purpose, etc for Cronicle: www.instagram.com/cronicle.me/

and the other is me making things, mostly woodworking: www.instagram.com/joemakingthi...

Words to live by! 🙏

I've never thought about it this way but that makes a lot of sense.

I often find the more I think about how to be successful the less successful I am as well. Just gotta keep my head down and keep pushing!

Are there any online developer/entrepreneur/freelance communities you are apart of that you love?

And do they want another member?

Don't look at the taped together cord grip. It doesn't look like that anymore

I built a lamp

Sapelle wood. Built a template out of 1/4" ply and then used a router trim bit to get the curved arm. Bought the lampshade at value village for $5. Blew my breaker because I was silly then learned some more and did a much better job of wiring up the socket.

This is so cute, love it!

My favourite genre of facebook post is math problems with a bunch of people arguing about the answer in the comments

I'm building something 👀

If prioritized homes for people like we prioritize homes for cars we would be much further along in dealing with this housing crisis.

Ahh I totally misread that. Still very cool, looks like Yaak is doing pretty well

This is cool. I saw your post about making the dashboard available. Would you be making the dashboard available and the user would be responsible for supplying the correct data format?
