Nepahwin 2.0
Sudbury, Ontario
Building off the previous interventions at the Nepahwin Residence, the design objective of this addition was to vertically expand the home with minimal impact to the existing structure or residence functionality. An additional two stories were proposed above the upper storey of the home, to be constructed with mass timber elements supported by the reinforced existing structure below. The new floor area would function as expanded living area, an art gallery space, and new office headquarters for DAO, with separate exterior access and open rooftop area. Still currently in the conceptual stage, the advancement of this addition intends to act as a precedent for expanding existing building footprints and providing an opportunity to positively impact the current housing crisis.
