World’s Tallest Passive House Fails To Earn The Support Of Vancouver’s Urban Design Panel
1075 Nelson St (DP-2021-00589)
As I knew the Urban Design Panel was scheduled to review the world’s tallest passive house building, I was ready to be amazed when I walked into city hall’s Joe Wai Meeting Room. Sure enough, I was greeted by the most impressive scale model I’ve seen in months. It was only after I quickly snapped some photos to send to Hannah that I realized nothing could have prepared this applicant team for the thrashing they were about to endure.
It’s not that these volunteers acted unprofessionally, nor did they lack expertise, as Jennifer Marshall, Laura Jimenez, and Robin Williams were invited by city staff to join them as non-voting guests. Rather, it’s that several of those present have previously stated they’re worried the creation of more housing was making Vancouver a worse place to live. A virtual attendee who now resides in Gibsons, took that further, lamenting how our city’s bright lights were ruining their night sky.
