Wellness House

Victoria, BC

Wellness House in Victoria is designed as a facility to house and support Indigenous Peoples experiencing homelessness on their healing journey by providing care, community and stability. It features 32 self contained units – a mix of single occupancy and several double occupancy rooms.

Conceptually inspired by the Salish Longhouse, it features a communal courtyard space using interior glass sliding walls adding functionally in creating space where exterior and interior can be blurred. A west courtyard serves for outdoor kitchen activities and gathering whilst the east side courtyard is more private with a firepit and garden. The dwellings are designed as a modular prefabrication units made of CLT panels stacked on top of each other.
