Ryder Architecture has completed the Timbre and Harmony housing development in Vancouver, aimed at providing non-market housing for people aged 55 and older, as well as individuals with disabilities. The project, commissioned by the Brightside Community Homes Foundation, delivers 157 units designed to meet Passive House standards, with 20% of the units being fully accessible. Located in Vancouver’s Grandview-Woodland neighborhood, the development nearly triples the site’s housing capacity and includes energy-efficient features such as triple-glazed windows and ductless heat recovery ventilation. The project was funded by the National Housing Coinvestment Fund and the Green Municipal Fund’s Sustainable Affordable Housing initiative.
