Where does Vancouver’s creative community live and work?
Join the Laboratory of Housing Alternatives (LOHA) for a Housing Tour on September 14th that kicks off a fall events series to explore ways to design, build and sustain better living and working spaces that increase the creative capital of our city.
Explore and learn from a variety of alternative housing models in the neighbourhoods of Railtown and Strathcona. This tour will cover four sites that will provide great examples for good design, alternative construction methods and innovative development models. After the tour there will be a small brainstorming session to share ideas and connect with other tour participants.
