6800 Lougheed

Located in the new Burnaby Lake Village Master Plan near Sperling SkyTrain station, this mixed-use project integrates significant retail frontage along the street with just over 500 residential units (20% of which are adaptable). The form is split into three distinct towers connected by a podium, allowing for enhanced permeability with the creation of two south-facing courtyards. At the ground level, the prominent connection corridor – which links the three residential lobbies and provides access to indoor amenities and courtyards – is envisioned as a meeting place where all occupants can cross paths and socialize.

Along the south edge, and outdoor promenade links the two courtyards to future public pathways, creating a gentle transition between public and private space. The upper floors of the podium and towers are set back to create terraces, softening the form and allowing more light into corner conditions. On the east and west facades, balconies are arranged in a playful ‘checkerboard’ pattern to create variation and depth, helping to break down the long planes into smaller scale elements.
