False Creek Towers

Located in beautiful False Creek, beside Vancouver’s seawall, these twin towers fit delicately into a view cone that triangulates the site. The design intent was for the buildings to frame a public park between them, while animating these spaces with active home fronts.

Roofs were shaped to bring rooftop water down the sides of the building, a rarity in tower design. Curving ends were intended to ‘deflect’ traffic on the nearby bridge ramp. Subsequent design changes by others resulted in material, massing, and colour changes.
