Ottawa, Ontario

Britannia Heights was a subdivision project of 4 semi-detached houses and one detached modern-style house situated within the community of Britannia Heights in Ottawa. Studio Quadrant designed 2 typical floor plans for the semis and a unique one for the detached house with distinct modern front elevations. Because of the narrow lots, Studio Quadrant decided to use a vertical arrangement and to take all living spaces over the garage which also helped to incorporate car garages in all of the lots. Additionally, in spite of being a relatively small subdivision project and the fact that it was architecturally controlled through the town’s planning process, the approach gave potential buyers a degree of choice, both in terms of interior floor plan and exterior elevation.
