Forest Glenn, Ucluelet

A 10 unit seniors residence comprising a mix of subsidized and independent living units with shared dining, living and support facilities.  This B.C. Housing complex provides a variety of spaces from intimate to public by stacking the private zones on the west and allowing the public spaces to take advantage of the south east orientation with a view of the creek and rain forest.  The connection from the interior space to the exterior was encouraged with a long overhanging roof structure as well as exterior arcades, enabling outdoor movement in a location with extensive rainfall.  The simple shed roofs direct the rain water to a featured timber gutter then dramatically spill the water into a garden area.  These environmental features are carefully placed to enrich the experience of the inhabitants.
