TS'KW'AYLAXW COMMUNITY HOUSING

The Ts’kw’aylaxw Elder’s Housing is a collection of accessible units nestled on the mountainside beside the Health and Wellness Centre.

The Housing was constructed in conjunction with the Health and Wellness Centre, on a design-build basis. The materials used are long-lasting, and the construction prioritized air-tightness, allowing for low consumption of electricity and resources while maintaining the highest comfort for the residents.
They feature a fenced back patio which enjoys an expansive view of the mountains, large overhangs to shade during summer, and optimized glazing for gracious natural lighting. Inside, the units are equipped with in-suite laundry, an open concept kitchen, and a natural warm finish. These emphasized design features were critical in meeting the needs and accessibility requirements of the community Elders.
