Peterson Development Partner Peterson has been developing innovative real estate since Peterson has had the opportunity to work with Westbank to build visionary projects including the Fairmont Pacific Rim, the Woodward s Redevelopment and the Vancouver and Toronto Shangri-La properties. As Peterson moves forward with new development projects, they are excited at the opportunity to develop and create transformative and exciting communities. Kengo Kuma and Associates Architect Kengo Kuma and Associates aim at blending of architecture and nature, where you find a rich and firm link between the building and the place it stands. To achieve this goal, Kengo Kuma and Associates use natural materials that are locally available in each place, such as wood, stone or paper, and try to retrieve warmth and tenderness to the architecture. For further fusion between architecture and its surrounding environment, Kengo Kuma and Associates attach great importance in designing to the unity between landscape and architecture.

3 Kengo Kuma Architects Kengo Kuma s modern designs are celebrated for their natural aesthetic and sense of place. This will be renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma s first large scale project in North America.

6 West End Plan Principles 1550 Alberni is consistent with the principles in the West End Plan. The following principles reflect the City s Priorities and provide the overall direction for the West End Plan. Principles Proposed Achieve a green, environmentally sustainable urban pattern Alberni will incorporate sustainable design, achieve LEED Gold certification, tie into the Creative Energy District Energy system and include comprehensive water and energy conservation systems. $ Support a range of affordable housing options to meet the diverse needs of the community. The building will provide 75% of its units for two and three bedroom units that are suitable for families with children. Foster a robust, resilient economy Alberni will help support local businesses throughout the Downtown area and activate the Alberni and Cardero streetscape. Enhance culture, heritage and creativity in the city Alberni is an iconic site that will transform into an example of architectural and urban design excellence, as a result of renowned architect Kengo Kuma, and a public art contribution. Provide and support a range of sustainable transportation options. Located in one of Vancouver s most dense communities, the site is in close proximity to nearby amenities (e.g. Alberni Retail District, Stanley Park and Denman Village West End s Main St ) and supports walking, cycling and public transit. Protect and enhance public open spaces, parks and green linkages. The natural design aesthetic for 1550 Alberni and its semi-exterior Japanese garden lobby will create connections between the building and the public realm. Foster resilient, sustainable, safe and healthy communities Alberni will enhance the existing skyline with an iconic design, provide diverse housing options and activate the Alberni and Cardero streetscape.

7 Design Guidelines 1550 Alberni is consistent with the Built Form Guidelines in the West End Community Plan. New development in the West End must be responsive to the diverse surrounding area. West End Plan Built Form Guidelines The form and scale of the proposed building will adhere to the prevailing view corridors and reinforce the downtown dome-shaped skyline. The shadow effects of the proposed building will have minimal negative impacts on surrounding public spaces and private views. The proposed building has a distinct architectural identity and will contribute to the public realm through mix of ground-oriented activities on site. Evolution of Built Form in the West End Years Late 50 s - Early 70 s Typical Height New Liverpool Subdivision 1929 Zoning caps buildings to 6 storeys max storey Cap is lifted: Rental highrises built 1969 & 1973 Residential areas are down-zoned 1986 & 1987 Commercial and Residential Area Policy Plans 2013 West End Community Plan s & 60 s Mid 70 s - today s Late 1880 s - WWI 30 s, 40 s & 50 s 10 0

8 Architectural Response 1550 Alberni is shaped by its environment and surrounding elements. The 43-storey tower is carved by two emphatic scoops that form deep balconies wrapped in wood. The scoops open up the space for the neighbouring towers while internally creating semi-enclosures with open views of Vancouver. The silhouette of the tower is constantly changing as a result of illusionary profiles of arching cantilevers. The tilted aluminum panels on the façade reinforce this ephemeral quality with shifting qualities of light, and reference the wood shingle vernacular architecture of the West Coast. Robson St Alberni St Duel Orientation Garden Lobby Semi-Enclosures

9 Architectural Response 1550 Alberni embraces and invites the public sphere into its design. This symbiotic relationship lends a serenity and harmony to the project. This is further reinforced by all of the design elements and spaces that act both separately and in concert to produce a holistic approach to building design. Japanese Gardens - The absence of objects / presence of space. Wood Joinery - GC Museum Land Art - Roof by Andy Goldsworthy Phenomenal Materiality - Soft, transient light.

10 Public Realm 1550 Alberni contributes to an animated streetscape along Alberni and Cardero with a patio terrace and boulevard seating.

14 Landscape Design 1550 Alberni s landscape design incorporates an abundance of British Columbia timber and a serene Japanese garden. The tower meets the ground with two overlapping domes that embrace the street intersection. The vaulted ceilings are clad in aggregates of wood joinery to form a cloud-like atmosphere. Underneath this wood joinery cloud, an extensive moss garden defines the entrance on Alberni Street, which rises gently to connect to the swimming pool above.

16 Sustainable Design Strategy 1550 Alberni will emphasize the use of natural materials, comprehensive water and energy conservation systems, and connection to a future district energy system. Environmental Sustainability This urban infill development is located in a neighbourhood with a high level of walkability, proximity to rapid transit, traffic-calmed bike routes and significant amenities. What is Creative Energy? Central Heat now named Creative Energy - is a community energy system supplying over 200 buildings in Vancouver s downtown core with steam heat. Steam heating reduces the consumption of fuel oil and gas boilers, which helps to significantly improve the local air quality. Expanding the Creative Energy Network The Creative Energy system represents one of the largest opportunities to reduce carbon emissions and develop local sources of energy in the city. The proposed project will expand the Creative Energy system in the West End, which will help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to cleaner air, lower energy costs, and long-term sustainability.
